Dear Mr. Jackson:

I am writing to apply for the Assistant Product Manager position at ABC Corporation

advertised in the September 8th Edition of the Orlando Sentinel. As a recent graduate

from the University of Central Florida with a Bachelor of Business Administration

degree in Marketing, I am extremely interested in this position. My education at UCF

has provided me with a solid foundation in marketing, business administration, and

computer technology, training that would fit in well with your company’s goal to be

internationally marketed by 2015.

As assistant manager for Scooby’s Appliance Store, I gained valuable experience in

marketing development, implementation, and evaluation. My primary responsibilities

included product promotion for the store's annual “Summer Blowout Sale,” an event

that resulted in over $100,000 in storewide sales. This position also demanded strong

computer, problem-solving, analytical, and organizational skills.

In addition to my marketing expertise, I can bring to this position well-developed

communication skills, qualities honed while serving as liaison to the local media for

advertisement of store promotions. My six years of industry experience along with a

leadership position with the UCF Student Marketing Society have provided me with a

well-rounded background in customer service.

I would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you about the Assistant Product

Manager position and my future with ABC Corporation. I am available for an interview

immediately and can be reached at (407) 555-6262. Thank you, and I look forward to

hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

(signature)

Susan Johnson
