Cover Letter
I am responding with a great deal of interest to your recent posting for the Marketing Coordinator position. My qualifications, as outlined in the enclosed resume, appear to be an excellent match with the requirements listed for this position.
I would be a great fit for the Marketing Coordinator position because I have the applicable experience in the Architecture and Engineering industry and with Gensler.

During that time, I created proposals, presentations, formatted/edited materials, and managed the direct-mail and email public relation mailer process for the Atlanta and Tampa offices. Currently, I am the Receptionist for the Atlanta office, but continue to assist the marketing department by completing my Marketing Coordinator duties on an as needed basis. I can effectively manage time to balance short-term deadlines and assist with long-term goals. I demonstrate a strong and clear business professional communication style to work with multiple people in a persistent and enthusiastic manner. I also have experience maintaining databases, coordinating award submittals, researching potential clients, representing companies at industry functions, and designing strategic materials focused on target clients.
I am a well organized, detail oriented team member with excellent analytical and problem solving skills. I know from my managers and supervisors feedback that I have the interpersonal skills and motivation needed to build a successful career. I thrive on new challenges, and my innovative approach to ideas and improvement, along with my desire to learn, will prove to be an asset to your marketing team.
Enclosed is a copy of my resume for your review. I would welcome a personal interview at your earliest convenience to discuss your needs and objectives and the possibility of working together to meet them. Thank you for your time and consideration.
