To whom it may concern:
I am writing to apply for a full-time job that will allow me to utilize my extensive knowledge
within the Public Relations field. My skills and attributes are well-aligned with the described role, and I
am confident that my work experience and accomplishments as a volunteer have positioned me to be a
valuable asset and outstanding addition to your team.
As a student who has studied strategic communication at Washington State University via the
prestigious Elson S. Floyd Presidential Scholarship, a full-ride academic scholarship at Washington
State University, I have consistently demonstrated that work ethic, perseverance, and organization are
qualities that are extremely important to me. I am a self- motivated, efficient worker who thrives in
environments where it is necessary to engage persons of diverse statures, cultures and abilities.
I have served on the executive board for the First African Methodist Episcopal Church's Young
People's Division. In each leadership position, I had a chance to strengthen my leadership attributes and
demonstrate that I can successfully interact and communicate with my peers and advisors in a teaming
environment. I also had the chance to enhance my organizational skills planning fundraising events,
facilitating group meetings and participating in educational workshops. My work experience includes
an incredible opportunity as an intern with media behemoth Clear Channel Communications, where I
acquired valuable, real life experience in marketing and multi-media communication.
I have enclosed my resume for your consideration. Please feel free to contact me via phone or
email at a time of your convenience to discuss my background as well as the requirements for the role. I
look forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards,
