Katie Godwin is applying for a position at a marketing company and believes her experience as a teacher makes her well-suited for the role. She has strong relationship building skills from teaching large classes for many years. As a teacher, she also had to engage students with sometimes uninspiring material and had to quickly learn new topics to fill in for colleagues. Katie emphasizes that she wants to continue learning new digital marketing skills and sees this as an opportunity to take on a more innovative and challenging role than teaching. She provides her contact information and invites the company to discuss opportunities to work together.
