To Whom It May Concern:
I was extremely excited to see your organization has an opening. I believe I am a great candidate for this position because
I am an enthusiastic fast learner who has a passion for business management, finance, marketing and being a part of a
team.
During my time as a college student at University of Miami, I have learned impeccable organization skills as well as the
ability to multi-task. Within my co-ed business fraternity (Alpha Kappa Psi) I often take roles of responsibility which
require me to manage written or verbal communications with an entity outside of our organization as well as help forge a
positive public image. I also have a lot of experience working with and leading a team, another skill necessary for this job.
Also having held multiple part-time jobs concurrently, I am no stranger to working hard to accomplish multiple tasks at
once.
My strongest asset that would help me in this position is my goal-oriented mindset which propels me to reach all of my
objectives while working against rigid deadlines. I am a highly critical thinker and that makes me able to quickly identify
and rectify problems if they arise, leading to streamlined executions of tasks/responsibilities. I am applying for this
position because I have a lot of drive and passion that I could put towards this position for the betterment of this
company.
Thank you for taking the time to consider me as a candidate. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Atesha Gifford
