SAMPLE COVER LETTER – For a Post-Graduation Job 123 Smith Lane Boise, ID 83706 January 15, 2008 Design Marketing Corporation 555 Marketing Way Boise, ID 83706 Dear Ms. Jones: I am writing to express my interest in the Marketing Agent position available with Design Marketing Corporation. I learned of this opening from Mary Smith, a current Marketing Manager with your company, who suggested that I might be a good fit for this position. I will be completing a Bachelors degree in Marketing at Boise State University this coming May. While working towards this degree, I have strived to also gain as much hands-on experience as possible, and currently have over 4 years of related experience in the areas of sales, customer service, and product promotion. Currently, I am interning at Smith and Smith Marketing Associates, for which I actively contribute to the design and development of new campaigns, and work one-on-one with existing and potential clients. In this position, I have played a significant role in recruiting new business, and in executing successful ad campaigns. My experience in sales has given me a perspective necessary to fully understand product promotion. Through my experiences in customer service, I have developed strong communication skills, especially in the areas of active listening and needs assessment, which I have found to be invaluable in working with clients. I also feel that my passion for marketing makes me a strong candidate for this position. From an early age, I was fascinated by television commercials. While other children hummed jingles and begged their parents for whatever toy or gadget was being advertised, I was contemplating the reasons why certain commercials were so effective in making everyone desperately want something. I came to college knowing that I wanted to earn a marketing degree and pursue a career using my creative abilities to their fullest potential. While in college, I have made an effort to stay up to date with the portfolios of the marketing agencies based in the Treasure Valley area. I have been continuously impressed with Design Marketing’s portfolio, and was particularly inspired by the print campaign you did for Lakeside Plaza last fall. I feel that the post-contemporary style you frequently use is an excellent fit with my personal creative style. I would love to have the opportunity to further develop my abilities with Design Marketing, and I feel that the combination of my skills, experience, and passion make me an excellent candidate for the Marketing Agent position. Thank you for your time and consideration, and I look forward to speaking with you further regarding the ways in which I could contribute to the continued success of Design Marketing. Sincerely,
Jane A. Smith
