Mr. John Vargas
Director, Marketing
VSP Foods
19 De Forest Ave.
Parsippany, NJ 07935
Dear Mr. Vargas:
I learned from your marketing services manager, John Higgins, that you have an opening in your department for a marketing brand manager. John has given me a general idea of what the job involves, and he seems to think, as do I, that I can bring a great deal to this position.
I am currently an associate brand manager at Lage Foods, where I have been in the snacks division for about 4 years. I have had a good relationship with Lage Foods but have come to believe that my approach to business is better suited to the fast-moving, dynamic culture at VSP Foods.
As you will see in the resume that I have enclosed, the wide range of marketing responsibilities I have held during my career is quite relevant to the new, cutting-edge marketing philosophy at VSP. I also have several years' experience in consumer research, Internet promotions and print advertising, all of which are central responsibilities to the open position. As John will verify, I am a extremely driven and loyal worker and I work well in a team.
If you have any questions about my background, please do not hesitate to contact me. I would also welcome the opportunity to meet with you and tell you a little more about what I think I can contribute. I appreciate your interest and your consideration, and hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Jackie Poulos
