As a current student majoring in Professional and Technical Communication at the University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee, I believe that I can bring a strong set of communication skills, both written and verbal, and creativity to this position. JMX Brands interests me because your website shows there is a clear passion to provide exceptional service to customers. My experience and coursework have provided me with the qualifications and skills to perform the roles of this position and assist JMX Brands in improving the overall buying experience by providing informative online content. For example, my Technical Writing course has provided me with content writing and search engine optimization skills. Also, I have developed a detail-oriented and focused mindset, especially when having to modify writing pieces to match the needs and goals of diverse audiences. This position requires teamwork and strong collaboration skills, both of which I have. As a current Admissions Assistant at USFSM, I regularly collaborate with a team of tour guides to develop new ways to effectively attract potential students to our campus. Additionally, I draft blog posts for the university’s Communications department to market events from a student perspective. As a hard- working and creative individual, I believe I have the expertise to fit in with your team of energetic, organized, and independent employees and the desire to gain hands-on experience. I am requesting an interview to review how my qualifications meet your needs and how my skills can benefit this company. Kindly reach me at 941-592-2874-2874 or e-mail me at [email protected]. In two weeks, I will check the status of my application. Thank you for your valued time and consideration. Sincerely, Kiarra Louis
