Dear__________________:

 

I am currently seeking a challenging career opportunity as a (INSERT TITLE OF THE TARGET JOB) and am submitting my resume for your review.  In advance, thank you for your time and consideration.

 

As demonstrated, I recently earned a BFA in Broadcasting and Public Relations.  During my academic pursuits, I capitalized on opportunities to develop and apply practical skills and knowledge through active membership in industry-related campus organizations, independent and collaborative projects and an internship program. I belonged to MyWCWP Associates, a student partnership targeting public relations supporting our on-campus radio station, effectively developing and facilitating promotional initiatives that were successful in reaching and developing our target market.  My senior project focused on a radio feature, and I steered this project from conducting interviews to develop the story through editing and production.  I also partnered with my peers in creating, shooting and airing a campus network television show.  While an Editorial Intern with HoneyMag.com, an online magazine, I gained valuable experience in social media trends, research and communications development for site publication.

 

Complementing this, I have strong skills in varied computer software and tools as well as multiple social networking sites. Concurrent with my academic pursuits, I also worked for Long Island University in varied positions ranging from Conference Aide and Residence Assistant to Tele-Counselor, applying my strong communication, interpersonal/public relation and administrative skills toward supporting diverse areas of campus operations.

 

As an employee, you will find me to be a driven team player committed to supporting you in achieving your objectives through superior performance.  I am confident that I could be a valuable asset to your firm, and look forward to interviewing with you in the near future.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

 

 

Ashley Nicole Willingham
