edu October 29, 2013 Alexis Oehling Director of Sales Apex Systems 3190 Fairview Park Drive, Suite 200 Falls Church, VA 22042 Dear Ms. Oehling: I am interested in a recruiting position at Apex Systems. I am currently a senior at James Madison University pursuing a Communication Studies degree, and will graduate in May of 2014. After reviewing the job description and qualifications, I feel I am very qualified and could become a valuable member of the Apex Systems team. This past summer I interned at Commonwealth Public Relations. One of my roles as an intern was to assist the president of the company in reviewing resumes for selecting the Fall 2013 intern. I also represented the company at a June 2013 job fair, where I accepted applications from potential employees. Finally, I managed and updated the company database. Over the past three years, my coursework has strengthened my skills in public speaking and effective communication. Communication skills are necessary for any job, and I have demonstrated these communication skills by taking the lead role in group projects and by giving countless presentations. I believe I am qualified for this position because of my experience with evaluating resumes and my ability to determine skills and strengths possessed by applicants. I am also a very driven individual, which I have shown through maintaining a 3.0 GPA and by becoming a member of the Spanish National Honor Society and the International Fraternity of Delta Sigma Pi. I would like to thank you for the opportunity to apply for this position. I have enclosed further details of my background and experiences in my resume. I would be glad to provide you with any further information needed, and you may reach me at haaste@dukes.jmu.edu. Once again, I thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you in the future. Sincerely, Tyler Haas
