Page 155 - Fearless Interviewing How To Win The Job By Communicating With Confidence

Ms. Bettina Simmons
Executive Vice President
Ionit, Incorporated Fearless Interviewing
554 Second Avenue, Suite 237A
New York, NY 103XX
Dear Ms. Simmons:

What a pleasure it was to meet you after hearing so much
about you from Carol Jones! I must say I was very flattered
that you extended our meeting from the half hour we had
planned to almost ninety minutes. I certainly appreciate your
generosity in sharing your ideas about the company and
acquainting me with Bob Delts and the others on the team.
Something in our exchange rang a bell for me, and I just
thought I’d share it with you. You mentioned that Ionit would
be opening an office soon in Minneapolis and that a senior
vice president would be needed there for a time to get the
January product launch off to a roaring start.
I didn’t mention it at the interview, but I happen to have
experience with the marketing of DTrek 5001 and similar
software. I planned and executed a similar launch in my prior
position at 4Tell, and I ended up saving the company almost
a quarter of a million dollars by including a direct-mailing
component in the project.

I believe that I have the wisdom gained from experience to be
instrumental in the same kinds of substantial savings for Ionit
and, if hired, I plan to present several scenarios that I think
would be beneficial for the Minneapolis effort. I also am free
to relocate there until the product is off to a healthy start in
the Minneapolis market.

Again thank you for your time in the interview. If you have
any questions I can answer or if you would like to see a sam-
ple proposal for my ideas for the Minneapolis project, I
would be happy to oblige.

Regards,
Han Nguyen
