After reviewing the job description on Handshake and the Enterprise website, I know this position is an excellent match for my interest in sales. I would be excited to bring my enthusiasm to provide the exceptional customer service you pride yourselves in with each of your clients. I was also excited to learn that the core values at Enterprise, such as service, hard work, community, and fun align well with my own work values.  \nI look forward to applying my strong communication and leadership skills in a management training program. Last year as a Resident Assistant, I worked on a team of 8 members to foster the academic, social, and cultural programming in the residence hall. In this role I was responsible for the well-being of 50 first-year students which helped me develop and refine my management skills. This included making the effort to personally get to know each of my residents by checking in throughout the week to see how they were adjusting to college life. I would not only share my own personal experiences and advice but also connect them with various people, offices and resources on campus. It was through this experience that I became aware of my passion for leadership and teamwork and where I learned the importance of effective interpersonal communication. I am eager to bring these skills as a successful Management Trainee at Enterprise.  \nI would welcome the opportunity to meet with you and discuss my qualifications in greater detail. Please feel free to contact me at [elee@uci.edu](elee@uci.edu) or 949.123.4567.
