Application for role of [insert job title and reference if given]

Dear Ms Jamieson

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 Johnson/James. 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. You can reach me on 07675 344 879 or jlyons@hotmail.com.

Yours sincerely

Jimothy Johnson
