Dear Mr. Thomas,

It was with great delight that I found out from August 18 issue of The Anniston Star that Perfect Ads, Inc., is having an expansion into the local bar industry. I am quite certain that my experience in writing and my considerable knowledge on the bar enterprise are a perfect match for the Junior Copywriter position you are offering.

As an English Major at Bowling Green State University and copywriter for the school newspaper, I was able to develop my writing skills in tight-scheduled environments and have acquired working knowledge of AP style. I have proven to be both efficient and creative in my writing because of my assistance to the literacy program designed by the university.

Having also served as a bar tender at some local bars, I have also gained an essential knowledge on the environments, patrons, and the general market of the business you currently seek to assist. It would be my pleasure to be given an opportunity to write fresh and creative ads for these bars and perhaps even to produce new business through my web of contacts at these specific locations.

I would appreciate the chance to discuss with you regarding the Junior Copywriter position. You can contact me through the contact information provided in my resume. I look forward to your favorable response.

Sincerely,

Emily Brown

Dear Mr. Riddick:

I am writing to you as to express my interest in filling up the vacancy of the counselor position at your organization. One of your resident counselors referred the job opportunity to me and I consider my credentials appropriate to the qualification you are looking for. This letter of application is accompanied with my resume as well as other certificates as proof to my outstanding dedication in the field.

During my previous work at our local non-profit organization helping homeless families, I was able to practice different counseling methods and techniques I have learned from training programs and seminars. I have also other work experiences with common counseling concerns such as child and women protection and legal procedures for arranging divorce cases. These additional skills give me an advantage in resolving issues with different degrees of seriousness.

My Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice also gave me an advantage in improving my counseling skills. I believe that these credentials would make me fit for the position and my experiences in the practice put me on top of the qualified applicants. Thank you for your kind consideration. I am looking forward to your positive reply.

Sincerely,

Thomas Ferguson

To Whom It May Concern:

During my time at University of the Arts in London, I have been involved with many projects inside and outside of the college, getting a sense of the commitment needed to succeed in the fashion industry. Some of my goals after graduation are to complement my Fashion Design and Development major doing post-production, mixing and clothing design work with my Technical Effects for Performance major, developing new performance tools using computers and electronics. Also, as an effects technician I will be able to troubleshoot equipment and aesthetic issues. On campus, I have been involved with fellow students in film and theater sessions as a performer and designer promoting, producing and organizing the past two Latin Culture Celebrations and working at the Fashion department as an office assistant and currently as a tutor.

Although I have a very busy schedule and I am an active performer, my studies at University of the Arts are extremely important and my number one priority; I make sure I do my best on every class I take and my grades can show it. I have earned a place in the Dean’s List for three consecutive years with a cumulative GPA of 3.506.

This is only a part of all the things I have done and I believe that I am a strong candidate for the design internship. It would be a great support from the college to my career on and off campus and I look forward to keep putting at work all the knowledge I have gained at University of the Arts in the real world and hope I will be able to reattribute it in the future.

Sincerely yours,

Diego Perez Martinez

Submitting effective cover letters to your employer would definitely give you an advantage ahead of the personal meeting. Therefore, it is just necessary to make your cover letter be perfect as possible. Though there are no certain requirements on what you should strictly include on your cover letter or resume, you should always consider using correct grammar and spelling every time you write one. Most employers give first impressions on documents written by their applicants especially if the nature of work requires excellent communication skills.

There are certain ways that you may want to consider to make sure that your cover letter would have the quality that can impress the recipient. To check grammar of the cover letter or resume you have written conveniently, you should turn on the spelling and grammar check settings on your word processor. However, you should not mainly rely on the automatic settings. It is still best to double check your letter before printing it out or sending it to your employer online.

To Whom It May Concern:

I am Tyrone Chandler, a very dedicated student of journalism from Northern Arizona University. I have been devoted to the subject since first taking an introductory course in high school. I love to write and I love learning how to write more efficiently. I think that the communications classes I have taken at the university have taught me some of the most helpful skills and techniques I will ever learn.

Last academic year, I was the recipient of the Scripps News Editorial scholarship for $1,200. I am currently a writer for the Arts and Entertainment section of The Lumberjack. I have had the opportunity to write stories about upcoming NAU and community events such as Flagstaff’s monthly Movies on the Square and the NAU Theatre productions of “You’re A Good Man” and “Charlie Brown” among others. Writing for the publication has allowed me to put my education to work by applying it to real life journalism, which is not only fun and thrilling but an incredible opportunity.

In my career, I hope to prove my knowledge of communication based on my education while also harboring a desire for new knowledge based on my own experiences. I would love to be able to call myself a successful journalist, with a tool belt of knowledge and experience that I might be able to share with others. When I sit in my journalism classes and watch my instructors, seasoned journalists, relay the stories they worked on and the challenges and fortunes they met, I wish nothing more than to have some of my own stories to share.

Journalism is changing every minute; it has suddenly become so much more accessible, versatile and competitive in the past few years that it is intimidating but also incredibly exciting. My career could potentially contribute to altering journalism in important ways, which is exactly the effect I hope my career will have on my communication field.

Sincerely,

Tyrone Chandler
