Email Subject: (Your name) for (Position)
(Note: Keep the email title short and simple, yet highlight the key information for the recruiter’s

Dear (Salutation & Name),
I would like to express my interest in applying for the position of Marketing Associate that was
recently made available in your company.
I believe that my degree in Business Administration (BSBA) majoring in Marketing from the XYZ
University has prepared me for this position. As a student, I was equipped with the necessary
knowledge and skills to help develop and drive effective marketing strategies.
During my six months internship at ABC Company’s Marketing Department, I learned how
companies determine what product or services to sell, how to reach target demographics with the
aid of analytic tools and how to respond to the some of the threats from competitors. More
importantly, I had the opportunity to work with seasoned professionals who taught me how to
easily grasp complex marketing concepts and at certain times, how to roll with the punches in
order to achieve various objectives.
I have also acquainted myself with a wide range of skills that allow me to blend with the group or
team’s culture and to continuously strive to reach common goals amidst failures and setbacks.
My proudest achievement during the internship would be organising a guerilla marketing for a
newly launched product. I secured a venue at GHI Shopping Mall and we conducted a social
experiment to introduce the new product. We received tremendous positive response from the
shoppers and 50% of the shoppers eventually purchased our product that day.
In addition, my active involvement in many academic and extracurricular activities has helped me
tremendously in developing my communication and leadership skills, which are vital in finding
success in the corporate world.
With this application letter, I attach herewith my resume for your full consideration. Thank you for
taking time to review my application and I am looking forward to your reply so that we can further
discuss my application.
Yours sincerely,
(Your Name)
