To the Manager of College Recruiting:
Books, research, and writing have been an important part of my life for many years. I have a love of learning
and have embraced a variety of academic subjects while also participating in community service and cultural
activities during my college career. My broad based experiences have given me a good foundation to begin a
career in publishing.
As I read the announcement on your website for the Editorial Internship, I became very excited because this is
precisely the type of opportunity that I seek. Recently, I completed an internship at Princeton University Press
as an Editorial Reference Intern. While there, I learned a great deal about academic publishing and I would
now like to extend my experiences to the trade publishing world. The departments of E-books, Production,
Publicity, and Design are of special interest to me, although I would consider all opportunities. Through my
internship and work experiences I have developed skills that could be an asset to your company:
 Well-honed organizational abilities developed through work and academic responsibilities, as
demonstrated by my ability to graduate with high honors.
 Meticulous attention to detail, as evidence by my work at the Princeton Press and highlighted as one of
my strengths in the internship.
 Excellent communication and interpersonal skills practiced through work and community service
experiences.
 Willingness to learn and to take on challenging projects and see them through to completion in a timely
manner.
Enclosed is my resume for your review. I am available for an interview so I can share my experiences in more
detail. I can be reached at 917- 482- 8253 or amj12547@utdallas.edu. Thank you for considering my
application. I look forward to speaking with you in the near future.
Sincerely,
Anita Job
