Janet Wilmoth
Senior Marketing Director
Primedia HealthCare
237 North Star Rd. Suite 11
Chicago, IL 60611

 

Dear Ms. Wilmoth:

I just read about your search for an assistant in this month's Primedia HealthCare newsletter. During your Christmas fundraising drive last year, I volunteered and toured your department while helping creating the flyers. So imagine my excitement at learning you could use an assistant!

My computer software expertise includes the tools you use for creating your marketing materials; Adobe PageMaker and Photoshop.

Regarding my background:

In a nutshell, I am senior at The Ohio State University (OSU) working on my BA in Marketing and just completed an internship with Signa Health Columbus in their Marketing Department. My work included assisting the Marketing Director, so I am familiar with many of the duties you mentioned in your ad.

Enclosed please find my resume and if you would like additional information, it can be sent as soon as possible. I will call next Friday to schedule an interview so that we can meet and discuss how I can help you with your upcoming Mental Health campaign for Fall. (The Mental Health Director was a graduate student in one of my classes at OSU and we worked together on a school project before.)

Thank you for consideration. I look forward to speaking with you.

 

Sincerely,

 

Jean Longo
