One more question before I leave for Vegas...
The president of the company gave me the contact info/e-mails of the company's Human Resources Manager, the Marketing Manager, and the VP of Marketing.
Should I send out one cover letter (in the body of the e-mail) and resume to each person, or should I just e-mail one and cc the rest?
I've finally decided to get up off my butt and go for a job that will challenge and motivate me to utilize my full potential. The job I have now is comfortable, but extremely dull... and stagnant. I've been here for a little over a year, and I'm ready to go on to bigger and better things...
Here's my cover letter and resume. Any suggestions/constructive criticism you could offer would be a great help, thank you!
Dear Mr./Ms. X,
I am applying for a marketing position with your company, which I have become familiar with through Mr. X (Mr. X is the president of the company), who I had the pleasure of speaking with during his trip to Los Angeles. Mr. X works closely with my associate Frankie "Flave" Nunez, an accomplished dancer. (the president of the company sponsors my ex-boyfriend, who recommended me to the president of the company... the president recommended me to the HR director and director of marketing, who this cover letter will be addressed to) I further researched your company on the Internet, and my interest in your company has intensified.
I recently graduated from Smith College, and also attended the University of Michigan where I studied business with a concentration in marketing. I have taken a variety of business courses that give me the knowledge to be successful in the marketing field, and as you can see from my resume, I have had previous experience through jobs and internships that have given me a solid foundation for success in the marketing field. Currently, I work for a major motion picture studio in Los Angeles, where I handle administrative, accounting, creative, and legal duties.
I have a strong drive and motivation to learn new things. My excellent verbal and written skills enable me to effectively communicate information to others. Having gained many new skills from my current job, I would make a good candidate for a marketing position in your company. I am fluent in an array of computer programs (including Microsoft Office), deal with clients on a regular basis, and have exceptional people skills. I am responsible for a variety of jobs to be done on a day-to-day basis and through them have strengthened my organizational skills and my ability to prioritize work.
My educational background, along with my diverse skills, makes me a strong candidate for a position within your company, and a face-to-face interview would allow me to demonstrate my character in a more personal way.
I look forward to hearing from you. I can be reached at (phone #).
Respectfully yours,
Dezign
