To Whom it May Concern:

I am writing to apply for your open position, as posted on the web. I am certain I could be a noteworthy member your organization, as I have performed well in many situations where I was called upon to perform tasks at times in the past.

In my most recent role, I worked with many people both in and out of our offices, and always impressed my co-worked and clients with my knowledge of the many services we provided. I have many customer service skills, and have often been noticed by my supervisors for my demeanor in situations in which I was called upon to represent our company at meetings with those with whom we had dealings.

Previously, I had held other positions in which my responsibilities were varied. I was also called upon to operate several different pieces of equipment, such as computers, and always did so. I have also owned and operated a camera, and understood how to do so.

I attended an accredited university, from which I graduated in a related field, with additional concentrations in subjects that show my personal depth and diversity of interests. While there I achieved a number of academic citations, and participated in athletics and other extra-curricular activities. I have always interacted with people in a varied array of social and professional situations, and I consider myself a self-starter.

I was excited to read about this opening, as I've been looking to move into a new position which would allow me to experience the many facets of marketing, operations, and customer service, and learn how growing companies operate, and I certainly have a desire to challenge myself and take on significant responsibility.

Additional documents showing my many qualities may be made available to those who might like to see them. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call.
