Dear Jorge Arroyo,
Thank you for the opportunity to apply for the Library Clerk role at your company. After reviewing your job
description, it’s clear that you’re looking for a candidate that is extremely familiar with the responsibilities
associated with the role, and can perform them confidently. Given these requirements, I am certain that I have the
necessary skills to successfully do the job adeptly and perform above expectations
I am a proactive college student currently attending Columbia College, pursuing a major in Marketing and a minor
in Education. During the course of my academic career, I also accrue nearly 5 years of work experience in a library
setting. I gained experience from Columbia College Chicago Library in a Reference Assistant role, where I learned
valuable professional skills such as customer service, data entry, and administration policies and rules. In both my
academic and professional life, I have been consistently praised as quality oriented by my professors and peers.
Whether working on academic, extracurricular, or professional projects, I apply proven teamwork,
communication, and interpersonal skills, which I hope to leverage into the role at your company.
I am looking to apply my experience assisting a company's branding needs through arts education, social media
outreach, developing market plans, digital marketing, and conducting consumer research. Experience has taught
me how to build strong relationships with all departments in an organization. I have the ability to work within a
team, cross-team as well as provide excellent customer service. After reviewing my attached resume, I hope you
will agree that I am the type of competent and competitive candidate you are looking for. I look forward to
elaborating on how my specific skills and abilities will benefit your organization, I will follow up with you next
week.
Thank you for your time and consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Winther Polk
