Dear James

Re: Marketing Assistant (Ref 5467JK)

I would like to apply for the Marketing Assistant position advertised on your website.

I have recently graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce-Marketing, with a distinction average, and am keen to start my professional working career in a marketing company such as yours.

During my studies, I took advantage of a volunteer opportunity at Bayliss Designs to gain an insight into the marketing industry and to begin applying my university knowledge in a practical real-life working environment. In this role I assisted with marketing and advertising campaigns for clients. This allowed me to sit on client meetings and assist with designing briefs as well as watch and learn from marketing specialists.

I have strong interpersonal and communication skills, developed during my previous work experience as well as throughout my university days, where I was involved in numerous group work assignments and worked as a shift supervisor at a busy restaurant.

I am highly-organised and understand the importance of effective time-management. I am keen to learn new skills in a challenging environment and believe that I will be an asset to your organisation.

Please find attached a copy of my resume, however for a more detailed view of my career achievements and skills please, view my resume online at:

I look forward to hearing from you and discussing my application in more detail. I can be contacted on 9299 0709.

Kind regards,

Sarah Willis
