My Cover Letter for a Marketing Position at a Canned Goods Company [Name and Address of Recruiting Manager]
Dear [Name],
I am a first-year MBA student and am writing to request an interview for the marketing position at [company name].
I developed awesome analytical skills and communications skills at my previous position, which is exactly what you said you wanted in your job description. Not only was I entrusted with such complicated mathematical operations such as multiplication and division, but I was required to give in-depth presentations on complicated tasks, e.g. training new hires how to replace the ink cartridge in color printers. That's not all! As my supervisor can attest, I work very well in teams, until someone on the team disagrees with me. Then I do a pretty good job of making everyone's life a hell on earth. But that's ok. The experience of being kicked off my team taught me that I am also very effective and productive when working alone!
I think that I would be a perfect fit at your company because of the skills I bring to the table as well as my enthusiasm for your products. For example, I just love your fruit cocktail, and I would just love to be able to work on the marketing team for this product because it is very obvious to me that not enough people are buying it, and dammit, it deserves to be in every home in the country! Asians are an untapped market, and fruit cocktail is excellent with almond tofu, which is a very popular dessert. Please find attached my marketing plan centered on this unique selling point (can you say, "competitive advantage?"). And guess what? I am Asian, so I am perfectly qualified to help you on marketing strategies for this group. Granted, I can't speak any Asian language, I am completely Americanized, and I have very little insight into any Asian culture, but I'm sure that's a shortcoming you can overlook.
Thank you for your time and consideration, and I hope to hear from you soon. You can do no wrong with someone like me in your organization!
Sincerely,
Neener
