Dear Ms. Pascal,
I would appreciate very much an opportunity to meet with you and demonstrate how my unique experience and education could be of particular advantage to your company’s future growth.
My practice last summer at Pascal Business Systems helped me focus on my academic and career goals. My fourteen weeks with your company involved me in a whole variety of sales support activities including preparing brochures and catalogs, coordinating trade shows, providing data and information to salespeople in the field, and interacting with customers.
During the past two semesters I have concentrated on developing my electronic publishing and business communication skills. I am confident that I can improve the ways in which Pascal Business Systems provides support for field marketing representatives. This would include designing and maintaining an online catalog which could be coordinated with current inventories (库存清单).
I am available for an interview at your convenience and look forward to an opportunity to discuss ways to improve operations and communications with field locations and sales. Thank you for your kind consideration.
Sincerely, Lourdes Santiago [文章大意]:短文是一封求职信。求职人Lourdes Santiago在信中提及去年暑假在Pascal Business Systems的实习经历和他/她为更好地适应和做好此项工作所负出的努力以及胜任此项的信心,并希望Ms. Pascal能够给他/她一次面试的机会。
