Dear Sir/Madam,
APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT
I wish to apply for employment in your reputable organisation. I would like to be considered for a
position and I have attached my latest CV with this letter for your kind consideration.
I am a passionate and forward-thinking professional who can hit the ground running and immediately put
a spin on any existing campaigns. I have a long track record of making things happen, maximising profits
and providing sales support to day-to-day marketing operations. Since strategy building is my core
Strength, I believe in working closely with target audiences to make the most of my marketing strategies.
As indicated in the enclosed resume, I have a demonstrated ability to promote awareness of brand image
internally and externally. In addition, I possess substantial knowledge of using sales techniques effectively
to maximize revenue. Moreover, I am highly skilled in executing and implementing marketing and sales
plans to meet the company goals of expanding and retaining client base in the assigned marketing niche.
My organization skills dictate most of my work which is why I am highly systematic when sourcing
advertising opportunities and production of marketing material for a campaign. I am of the opinion (and
I am certain that you will agree with me) that there is nothing a marketing executive can do if the ideal
target market is not identified which is why I believe in interviewing and surveying quite a lot.
I put customers at the heart of everything I do, and work very hard to understanding their needs. I
possess all of the competencies that you seek in a candidate. In particular I want to highlight my capacity
to:
Quickly take full advantage of any sales opportunities that come my way.
Use social media platforms such as Facebook, OLX, Tonaton.com, pages for maximum effect.
Work effectively alongside an existing team of marketers.
As you would expect from someone of my calibre, I will always carry out my duties whilst remaining
within brand guidelines and company rules. Aside from my technical competencies I am someone who is
willing to put in all the necessary additional hours required to get a job done.
I invite you to review my attached resume which will show you that I am a capable and professional
individual who is able to perform to the highest standards in fields such as affiliate marketing and selling
to high value clients.
I am willing to discuss this in person if you would like and can meet on an immediate basis.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Yours faithfully,
Ofosu Danso Derek
