Goal: To Be Interviewed and Hired as Senior Manager, Public Policy with Amazon Corporate, LLC - Job ID 394496
Friends at Amazon:
Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to study international public policy and global economic issues fromacross
the United States and Latin America. As a Regional Manager with the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry,
Louisiana’s Chamber of Commerce, and industry association at the state capitol, I was able to help the LABI team
promote business priorities and public policy goals while influencing the state government legislative and
administrative policymaking process and procedures to protect and advance business interests. With my ability to
influence, negotiate with, and persuade others by having strong judgment/decision making skills, political acumen
and by collaborating with companies, trade groups, consultancies, and government interests, we helped make a
difference in Louisiana. I was recognized publically for achieving record setting membership development by the
Louisiana Association of Business and Industry and later worked with the United States Chamber of Commerce.
As the Louisiana/Mississippi Public Education Coordinator and Public Relations Director with the National Fire Safety
Council, I worked with over 105 cities and mayors, and 121 Fire Chiefs and Fire Departments, causing them to work
with hundreds of Principals and schools. I coordinated, promoted, and implemented the NFSC’s public education
program in cooperation with the local governments, municipal departments, and educational institutions for over a
decade. I was able to expand my territory’s production by 867% and was awarded the National Fire Safety Council
President’s Award for the most outstanding growth in the United States.
I hope you will agree that my qualifications, attributes, and passions are a perfect match for your available Senior
Manager, Trade Policy position. As you will see included in my resume’ are credentials that evidence my proficiency
in facilitating high-level meetings between executives and key stakeholders to promote and advocate my company’s
public policy objectives. I have operated a business in Latin America, studied foreign governments, and have
extensive experience in influencing industry associations, political organizations, government officials, and agencies
to affect external advocacy efforts, outreach programs, and key initiatives to advance business objectives.
In addition, I embrace the emerging technology and social media, have a Top 1% Social Selling Index, and a strong
personal brand with hundreds of millions of international connections on linkedin.com. I have business connections
in virtually any country in which Amazon wishes to conduct business operations. I am unencumbered, with passport,
and ready to travel to represent Amazon and further its global business interests.
I am eager to demonstrate my superlative oral and interpersonal communication skills, superb ability to effectively
and comfortably interact at the highest corporate levels, and genuine desire to serve others as I become considered
a valued member of the Amazon Team. I am excited about the opportunity to interview with you in Seattle to
further discuss my credentials and to demonstrate my aspiration to work with Amazon as your next Senior Manager,
Trade Policy. Helping Amazon reach more people globally is my dream job and I will exceed expectations.

LETTEROFREFERENCE:

To Whom It May Concern:
I am a part time Associate Professorfor the University of Phoenix and Axia College. Webelieve our students
will become the smartest group of men and women who ever entered the workforce,in part, because of our
strong commitment to education, real workexperience, and leadership. Professional training, combined with
a wide range of educational opportunities, makes for better people. Ed Bacon is the epitome of all these
characteristics. I highly endorse Mr. Bacon’s application foryour company.
Ed Bacon is an extraordinary citizen. He truly exemplifies a total leader. His persona is indicative to team
competency;excellent communication skills, continual self–improvement, emphatic leadership, and
unquestioned moral and ethical devotion. My association with Edbegan when he was a student in my
Organizational Ethicsand Social Responsibility class. I saw in him immediately a special gift that exudes from
him as soon as he opens his mouth. One of those special talents was expanding guidance and outlining
complex tasks forhis peers in a manner that produced quality results with amazingly little effort. While in
class one night the topic was on race relations and how it affectsdifferent cultures. The discussion on this
topic became very heated. During this stressful ordeal Ed stayed calm, cheerful, and was never intimidated by
any conversation or situation that came his way. This created a superior class room environment forother
concerned students that resulted in high moral and productivity. His ability to complete multiple tasking is
unquestionably a true reflectionof his many talents and traits. His most prominent quality by far, is his total
focuson communication,feedback, and documentation of all activities.
As a fulltime Federal Government employee, Associate Professor, and retired Officerin the Army Reserves, I
workwith many diverse groups and students. I believe Ed can stir up the consciousness in the entire
community of the ever present problems facedby all society while offeringsolutions. I have no doubt he will
be a great asset to yourcompany.
Respectfully Yours,
Andre’ Harmon
