LETTER 5-17: ENTRY LEVEL—STUDENT

RE: Entry-Level Position
City Times, Sunday July 5, 20XX
Dear Ms. Lange:
This past May, I graduated from State University magna cum laude with
a 3.80 average, having financed 100% of my college education myself.
As you can see, I am not afraid of hard work and would welcome the
chance to discuss with you the entry-level opening at your firm.

My resume is enclosed to describe my academic background and
professional experience. As you’ll see, my four years of solid work
experience exposed me to substantial interaction with consumers. I
consider myself skilled in dealing with the public, and I would prove a
positive representative for your firm.
In working summers on the alumni newsletter, I learned to coordinate
an inordinate number of facts, figures, dates, and details -- under
deadline pressure!
These skills, combined with the drive to work through difficulty
towards the successful completion of a project will make me a
productive addition to many organizations. If you think yours is one to
which I can contribute, please let me know. I’ll come in at once for an
interview.

Sincerely,

Marie Delusia
