I am responding to your posting for an entry$-$level marketing assistant on

Monster.com. I was excited to hear about this position because I am interested in finding a position with a technology organization like yours. I was especially interested to learn about the new line of "smart" products you are about to launch. The marketing materials announcing the product line are stunning. I sincerely believe my educational background in marketing and business and my experience as a communications assistant make me a perfect fit for this position.

For the last four years, I have been a communications assistant for a local real estate office. This experience has provided me with the skills necessary to work as an entry$-$level marketing assistant with your firm.

While working as a communications assistant, I have also been going to school full time. I will receive my degree in May and am looking for full$-$time employment beginning June $1.$ The course work I have completed includes several marketing courses that will be directly applicable in providing your firm with the most up$-$to$-$date marketing strategies.

Thank you in advance for your consideration. I have attached my r$$sum$,$ which provides additional information about my skills and experience.

Sincerely,

Stacey Feliz
