Manager of Human Resources

Dear Mr. XXX:

I am applying for the position of Assistant Sales Manager, which was advertised July 2 with the Student Services Center at XXXXXX University. The position seems to fit very well with my education, experience, and career interests.

According to the advertisement, your position requires excellent communication skills, computer literacy, and a B.S. degree in business. As you can see in my resume, my studies have included courses in marketing, business administration, business English, business communication, management information systems, and computer science. I understand the position also requires a candidate who is team-oriented, able to deal with business people both at home and abroad, and words well under pressure. These are skills I developed both in my course work and in my recent internship at ABC Export & Import Inc. in Shanghai.

I am looking forward to the opportunity of working for a dynamic, internationally recognized trading company. My background and goals seem to match your requirements well and I am confident that I can excel in the new position.

If you could schedule an interview for me, please give me a call at 0000-0000. I will be available at your convenience.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
