Dear Ms. Jackson:
Please accept this letter of application for the public relations position as advertised in the
Career Services office at Indiana University – Purdue University Fort Wayne. Through
articles recently published in
The Orlando Business Journal
, I have learned of your
company’s rapid growth in the Orlando area. I am interested in joining your staff and
making immediate contributions to your continued growth and success.
My interest in public relations was heightened during my internship with Best Public
Relations in Atlanta, Georgia. During this summer internship, I accompanied account
representatives in making presentations to large and small clients. My mentor was
extremely encouraging of my abilities and provided me with the opportunity to copresent
a public relations campaign for a local retail chain. The campaign that we
presented was well received and was implemented in both print and broadcast forms.
Through various part-time positions in restaurants and retail stores, I have demonstrated
my abilities in sales and customer service. I am an energetic and organized individual
who takes pride in a job well done. I look forward to applying these skills in a
professional position following my graduation in May.
I would appreciate your time and consideration in reviewing my credentials. Enclosed is
a résumé and the two writing samples that you requested for your review. I will call you
during the week of March 16 to see if an interview may be arranged at your convenience.
If you wish to contact me prior to that time, please call me at (260) 456-2995 or by email
at bsmith@ipfw.edu.
Sincerely,
Brian Smith
