I am a strong believer in the power of education and look forward to working for an organization in pursuit of bringing truth to the classroom.  \nWith over 9 years of experience in handling strategic communications among the investor and stakeholder community, I believe my experience will prove to be invaluable to your organization. As detailed in my attached resume, my prior work experience entails extensive report writing, drafting press releases, drafting copy for the company’s annual report and a myriad of other writing assignments.  \nMost recently, the completion of my Master’s degree in Strategic Communications at Columbia has provided me with the foundation to develop and implement a range of strategic communications plans along with strategies to promote product branding.  \nAlong with my strengths as a proven communications professional, I am a high energy individual who thrives in a team environment.

In the real world, at an institution as important as the Federal Reserve, a mistaken message can be disastrous. I have made a career out of ensuring those disasters never happen.  \nAs a writer/producer for Nickelodeon’s in-house advertising agency, I run complicated campaigns for the world’s biggest brands. In the last year, I brought our VP of advertising and the CMO of Target together under an idea that led to the first-ever full integration of the two iconic brands. I created a campaign for Kmart that resulted in aseven-fold increase in product sales. These successes depended upon my ability to bring teams of people with varying goals and personalities together. That ability makes me an excellent fit for your Communication Specialist position.  \nThe driving force behind all my achievements is my passion for sharing ideas. I love what I do, and that love has led to multiple screenwriting awards, a Promax Gold award  \nand a Master’s Degree","cbCaigBdid0z4QaQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigBdid0z4QaQ","pdf",196211,19,"English","# Structure\n## Content\n## Purpose\n# Classic Advice\n## Tell why you’re writing\n## Show knowledge and qualifications\n## Indicate follow-up plans\n# Sample Letters\n## Dear Mr. Kline\n## Dear HR Recruiter\n# Classic Advice…revised\n# A Successful Application in Three Parts\n## Part I","[{\"question\":\"What structure should a strong cover letter follow?\",\"answer\":\"Focus on clear purpose, specific content, and a defined reason for writing.
