RE: Marketing Assistant, #19345

Dear Hiring Manager,

As a previous employee of Electronic Arts, I understand the hard work and passion that goes into producing video games.

I worked under pressure as a video game’s deadline loomed, but have also experienced the elation of meeting that

deadline. It has been a goal of mine to return to EA after having gained more experience and education so that I may

provide a greater contribution to producing world-class video games, and as such was excited to find the Marketing

Assistant position. I am looking to shift my career focus from QA to marketing and realize that breaking into a new career

in marketing will require me to begin ground up. In order to better understand a product line, it is important to understand

and learn about it from a basic level. Currently I am pursuing a unique type of MBA program at Simon Fraser University

and developed a keen interest in marketing. Key aspects of my work experience within QA coupled with my new training

and introduction to marketing gained through SFU, will allow me to help the organization continue to produce a high

quality product, which is a staple of the FIFA franchise. I feel that having a Marketing Assistant with an MBA, would prove

to be a benefit to EA and this product line.

As a Quality Assurance Analyst at EA, I helped take six games to completion, gaining responsibility with each project. I

wrote detailed bug reports and attached the appropriate screenshots when necessary. My passion for video games and

strong work ethic was not only displayed through my high quality of work, but also by participating in a volunteer-based

team that helped rate new features for upcoming games. At Fiver Media’s software development department, I was the

acting team lead of the marketing software quality assurance team. Not only was I responsible for developing and

managing the team’s test plans every three weeks, but was also responsible for meeting with key stakeholders to ensure

that set quality standards were met.

The SFU MBA has helped me build a foundation of business and marketing skills. In one project I conducted market

research, assessed the data and compiled and in depth essay on in-video game advertising. I also participated in a

semester-long group project involving the creation and online promotion of a YouTube video.

I believe my previous work experience teamed with the core business skills learned at SFU will make me an ideal fit for

the Marketing Assistant role. I hope to discuss my qualifications in greater detail and will contact you in one week to follow

up in regards to the status of my application.

Regards,

Matt Underwood
