Dear Mr. Jones:

SAMPLE COVER LETTERS

After spending my undergraduate career studying marketing, I can now pinpoint exactly what interests me most about my major – branding. The psychology of how it works, the strategies that make it work, and the long-term mindset that determines its direction fascinates me. Becoming a brand manager is my ultimate career goal. To achieve this goal at Procter & Gamble would make it that much better. Confident that my skill set, experiences, and passions would make me a great fit as an Assistant Brand Manager at your company, I am extremely interested in this position.

At Grove City College, I excel as a student, campus leader, and a part-time marketing consultant for Bayer Corporation. Maintaining a long-term consumer perspective is a point of emphasis in every marketing class I have taken, which has helped to shape my branding capabilities. Semester-long group projects have also sharpened my teamwork and leadership abilities. While I have always possessed a good work ethic and an ability to learn quickly, those skills were taken to the next level through my position as a marketing consultant at Bayer Corporation. In very little time, I was able to take what I learned and exceed the goals and expectations of my superiors. Extremely organized and motivated, I am also responsible for many organizations and initiatives on campus. Eager to leave my mark on every commitment by bringing it to its full potential, I am excited to do the same at Procter & Gamble. Well-respected for its brilliant marketing and impressive collection of top brands, Procter & Gamble is more than just a great name to add to my resume. Your company is honest, intelligent, and intuitive – the type of place that I want to make a long-term investment of my time and effort; a place where I would like to build my career. By investing in me, I can assure you that your investment will not be lost.

I am determined to build my branding career at Procter & Gamble and would ask that you give me the opportunity to prove myself as an Assistant Brand Manager. I am available for a personal interview at your convenience, and I may be reached at (xxx) xxx-xxxx. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Leah E. Vough
