Going Green
I am emailing my resume for a job listed in today's paper. I want to go in a slighty different direction with my cover letter as the job is for an events/marketing person for basically the parent company of a few local radio stations. This is what I've come up with. Please let me know what you think. (FYI, the ad reads as follows: Must believe in yourself, be creative, work hard and have an amazing attention to detail. Full time position with fluctuating hours. Marketing experience a plus, radio experience not required. )
In response to your ad placed in the Sunday, June 28 edition of the XXXXX, I am submitting my resume for review. What will this show you? For starters, it will give you a brief look into my job history, education and other groups or organizations I am or have been a member of. It will also show you a quick list of events and projects I have organized or assisted with. However, the years I spent in the XXXX Jaycees and XXXX County Safe Kids can not be summed up in a few lines on a piece of paper. Through my membership in these organizations and the projects I worked on, I gained a valuable set of skills that gave me the initiative and confidence to organize a benefit concert for my local drive in theater after the screen was blown down in a storm in 2005. While I had a great team of people assisting with the project, it was done on my own time and without the support of an established organization. I believe these skills would be an asset to XXXX and the radio stations it represents.
I am very excited about this opportunity and look forward to speaking with you further about my place in your team.
Criticism, advice....whatever you have....hit me! (And THANKS!!!)
