Dear fine decision makers of Matchstick, I want to work for you, badly.
Let me just start off with a quick introduction. My name is
Blaze. I just graduated the Advertising and Integrated Marketing Communications
program at St. Lawrence College in Kingston Ontario, and I was born to work at
your agency. I saw your description, researched your organization and I
determined that a résumé and a cover letter was just not going to cut it. So I
am taking a stand. Here are 5 reasons why you should just light the fire and
hire me as the Program Coordinator at Matchstick.
1.
I am interesting. Anyone that has ever met me
will agree. I am exploding with energy and optimism, and can generate conversation
around just about any topic. If you take the time to meet me, you certainly
won’t forget me.
2.
I am a team player. I have been part of team
since I could walk and talk. From sports to internships and everywhere in
between. I am dedicated, and I will show you that, every second of everyday.
3.
I am motivated. Too much is never enough. I want
to learn and grow everyday, and I have demonstrated that in my internships,
jobs and education. I am constantly taking on additional responsibilities in
hopes that I will continue to keep learning. My most notable accomplishment was my selection to attend
the trip to the Pivot Conference. I was a member of the only student group to
attend.
4.
I never say die. Marketing is a stressful
profession. I think the biggest obstacle for positions of this nature is
maintaining a positive attitude and staying focused. That’s how jobs get done.
By hard working, creative minded people who never give up. I never go down
because I never quit fighting. Whatever the challenge I will meet it with
determination and optimism.
5.
I can do the job. This is so often a point that
is overlooked in the basic cover letter and resume. There is a lot of promises
about how an applicant can meet your employment expectations, but after all,
aren’t you a digital agency? I can blog. I can tweet. I can create relevant
content on Facebook and so much more. Most importantly, I can identify with
your agency and the brands you represent, from Jeep to L’Oreal.
To wrap up, I know your company. I know the brands you
support. I know what you want in a Program Coordinator because I embody all
that it represents. Give me a chance to sit down with you and I promise you
won’t be disappointed.
Light my fire, Matchstick.
-Blaze
