Dear Hiring Manager,

I read your job posting for a Communications Director with interest.

In my position as Communications Director for XYZ Company, I wrote articles for the company
website, managed guest author submissions, and wrote and sent a weekly email newsletter to
subscribers.

While Assistant Communications Director for Assemblyperson Susan Smith, I researched,

drafted and amended legislation, wrote press releases, and was responsible for office
communications and correspondence.

I also have extensive experience writing on a freelance basis on labor issues, which, I believe,
would be an ideal match for this position. Articles are available for your review at:

I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Mr./Ms. LastName,

The American Company has been recognized as one of the best places to work in the country for
IT professionals. You have deliberately set out to create this culture, and it shows! It is my
understanding that you have been deluged with resumes since Computerland released their list of
the best companies at which to work. Mine is one more, but I do have some experience that is
hard to come by.

My IT experience gives me a unique ability to apply technology, in all its forms, to business
processes. Some of the business process knowledge includes accounting, finance, facilities,
inventory control, budgeting, vendor management and various operational processes.

I have experience with merger/acquisition events, high growth challenges, technology

replacement projects, and IT process improvement. I have delivered large technology projects on
schedule/on budget and in alignment with the business strategy. Companies I have worked for
include ICM, HEP, IBX and SED.
I would enjoy an opportunity to talk with you or someone in your organization to see where my
skill set would be of the greatest benefit to your company.

Sincerely,

Your Signature
