I wonder if anyone has any comment or tips on how my cover lets comes across?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear who ever it may concern, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your need for an innovative and creative marcomms executive is an excellent match to my advertising experience, education and personality.  Please find attached my CV. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After graduating from university last year, I have since been working as a marketing coordinator for Peartree Rental; A specialist digital sales and rental service, providing photographers with the latest cutting-edge solutions, education, expert consultancy and acute after sales care. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My current position gives me great satisfaction, however the opportunity to work for a company that shares my passion for music is too good not to apply for.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My love for music and its industry coupled with strong marketing experience and education will surely benefit both your company and my career aspirations.  I am very in touch with the dance music scene, the artists and culture.  A fact that will clearly let me promote Galaxyâs festival presence, brand partnerships, promotions and your Ibiza activity in the finest possible way. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other attributes that you will find of great benefit is my understanding of new technology and how I identify market potential; combining entrepreneurial spirit with imaginative yet economical theories that I enjoy putting to practise. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am a confident and performance-driven individual who is always willing to learn and develop new skills while thriving on responsibility. I thoroughly enjoy being part of a team and working towards a goal as a group effort.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My determination to succeed is reflected through financing my own way through university, achieving a high 2:1 grade and living and working in a different city for a summer of work experience to help broaden my cultural awareness.  My current position began with relatively low pay as the company gave me a chance to prove my worth by giving me freedom to use my initiative and creative skills.  I have accomplished a great deal since last September, including solely taking on a project to plan, brief, organise, and copy write Peartree Rentalâs new website from scratch.  A website that has gained great acclaim within the industry. www.peartreerental.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the short space of time since I graduated over one year ago, my marketing skills have developed immensely. I would be happy to show you the type of work I have done for Peartree Rental and I would like to think I have played a large part in the companyâs growing success over the past year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will follow up with you in a few days to answer any preliminary questions you may have.  In the meantime, you may reach me on 07707066405.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your time and consideration. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you.</description></item><item><title>Re: CV+MOTIVATION LETTER</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/CvMotivationLetter/dcwdp/post.htm#262767</link><pubDate>Tue, 05 Sep 2006 01:55:04 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:262767</guid><dc:creator>Clive</dc:creator><description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial&gt;Hi Sara,&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial&gt;Good luck with this. Write again if you need more help.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;Milan, 28 August 2006&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff&gt;Dear Mr, Schmidt&amp;nbsp;,&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff&gt;if you are looking for a determined and detail-oriented person who will contribute to your company's success, I would like to encourage you to consider my application for a 5 months&amp;nbsp;internship in your company starting October 2006. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff&gt;My name is Sara Rossi and I am a 19 years old, highly motivated student at the University of&amp;nbsp;Milan, Italy. Currently Iâm in the second year of a three year bachelorâs degree in Economics and Management Sciences, with a major in Tourism Management. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff&gt;I have always thought that theory is the basis of everything, but at the same time I am convinced that experience is what makes a person unique. I think that an internship in your company can definitely provide a rare opportunity for gaining &amp;nbsp;the valuable âhands- on experienceâ that I am looking for. I am confident that courses in marketing, event management, communication and promotion of tourism, combined with several business courses, will make me a good candidate for this internship. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff&gt;Personally, I define myself as an energetic and open-minded achiever with a dynamic, goal-oriented attitude and with an insatiable appetite to keep learning. I have always demonstrated commitment to excellence, through my academic career and through my previous working experience. If you give me the opportunity, I will be glad to continue this commitment to excellence by working in your company. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff&gt;Should you have any questions,&amp;nbsp;do not hesitate to contact&amp;nbsp;me via email. I look forward to your response. Thank you for your time and consideration. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff&gt;Sincerely,&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
