Application for role of [insert job title and reference if given]
Dear [hiring manager’s name if you know it, 'Sir/Madam' if you do not],
As a recent marketing graduate from the University of Manchester, I am eager to put my skills to work in a fast-paced, buzzing company like [insert company name]. I would like to apply for your Marketing Assistant role as advertised in [insert jobsite/newspaper] as I would prove a perfect fit for your business.
You’ll see from the attached CV that I’m diligent, creative and adept at delivering to tight deadlines. Having led group projects at university and completed a volunteer internship at a leading local consultancy, I offer valuable practical experience to back up my strong 2.1 degree.
A few examples:
- Created an integrated mock launch campaign for a luxury travel website – from brand development and communications planning to response tracking.
- Assisted the retail marketing team in one of Manchester’s busiest agencies to create client pitches, direct mail and sales collateral.
- Contributed a weekly arts blog for the University of Manchester website reporting on student events – from gigs and gallery openings to fashion week.
Thank you for considering my application. I hope to have the opportunity to interview for the role and look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
