Dear Mr. Slick:
I am writing to inquire about career opportunities in the fields of marketing and advertising. I am very interested in working at Ace Advertising, specifically in the Art Department.
I will be graduating from Saint Michael’s College in May with a double major in Business Administration and Fine Arts. At Saint Michael’s, I have developed a very unique educational experience that has combined the financial, theoretical, and practical aspects of a business education with the creativity and design theories of a fine arts education. I have also become proficient with the computer applications prevalent in these fields, particularly Adobe Photo Shop, and QuarkXPress. As an intern at XYZ Communications, a major advertising firm in Burlington, Vermont, I was part of a creative team responsible for developing the graphic images illustrating the advertising copy for magazine and billboard promotions. During the summer of 1999, I studied in Venezuela where I acquired insight into the business and artistic forces affecting marketing and advertising, especially in a global marketplace. As a result of these experiences, I am confident that I will bring both technical skills and a fresh perspective to the creative team at Ace Communications. I am enclosing my resumé. Samples of my work can be viewed online at References are available upon request from the Student Resource Center at Saint Michael’s College at (802) 654-2547.
I would appreciate an interview with you at your convenience. I will be available at my campus address until my graduation on May 13th. After that I can be reached at my permanent address.
I look forward to talking with you soon. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely,
Arthur Pallett
