Dear Ms. Cook,
When I saw your advertisement in the Sunday Commercial Appeal for Project Education Director, it was as though you were describing me specifically. Let me show you how my background compares to your job requirements:
COLLEGE DEGREE; MASTER'S DEGREE DESIRABLE: Master of Arts in Communication; Bachelor of Arts in Public Relations (minor in Journalism)
FIVE YEARS EXPERIENCE IN EDUCATION: Over 10 years teaching communication at the college level, including courses in Media Campaign Strategy and Public Relations
KNOWLEDGE OF VIDEO PRODUCTION AND PROGRAM SCHEDULING: Multiple advanced-level courses in mass media
EXCELLENT ORAL AND WRITTEN COMMUNICATION SKILLS: Editor of a newsletter going to 700 families; coordinator of a military family support group. Speak before large and small audiences daily
PROVEN ABILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT MARKETING/PROMOTION CAMPAIGNS. Served as marketing communications coordinator for a company, planning and implementing its annual convention. Raised more than $2500 for a non-profit organization by coordinating and promoting cookbooks
Though vitae are an excellent way of sorting the probable from the possible, they are not a true way to judge the caliber of a person. I would be pleased to speak with you at your earliest convenience to discuss how I can benefit WWKN-TV as your Project Education Director.
Respectfully,
Martha Klingman
