Dear Ima Employer,

My name is Ima Student and I am interested in applying for the Marketing Representative position in Charlotte, NC that is posted on the Bank of America Website.

My background qualifies me for this position in several ways.  The communication studies faculty at Wingate University have prepared me to be successful in this field.  As part of my graduation requirements, I spent a semester as an Event Intern for Rock Bottom Restaurant in Charlotte.  The Rock Bottom marketing team had recently implemented a new signage campaign to advertise their special event capabilities and reach a new market.  As the Event Intern, my responsibilities included coordinating assigned special events, working with a marketing team to promote the events through specific mediums as identified by market research.  This internship gave me insight into what a career in marketing entails.

In addition to my education and internship experiences, I have multiple other experiences cited on my resume that exemplify my ability to work collaboratively with people and take a leadership role.  I received the President's Award for Leadership at Wingate because of the charity auction I organized to benefit a local non-profit.  As the acution chair, I assumed responsibility for planning and scheduling speakers, negotiating contracts, and supervising promotional campaigns.  The auction resulted in raising $50,000 for the charity.

One of the key initiatives Bank of America puts forward in its mission statement is the importance of supporting people and businesses in a specified community.  I feel that my experiences coincide with this vision and I encourage you to contact me for an interview.  Thank you for your time and consideration.  I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Sincerely,

Ima Student
