The advertisement in the New York Times for the position of a Public Relations Associate addresses my qualifications to a great extent and I’d like to emphasize some aspects of my experience in that relation.

I would like to be considered for the position of Public Relations Specialist for the Des Moines Area Regional Transit Authority which I discovered on Local.com. As a Des Moines native, I am committed to the development of the city and helping to promote the use of mass transportation.

Capitalizing on a career that encompasses broad-based experience in brand marketing, public relations, and customer relations, I am seeking an opportunity to apply these skills in a marketing communications position that will offer the potential for advancement based on performance. I believe that I possess knowledge and expertise that can be an asset to your firm and have, therefore, enclosed for your review a résumé that outlines my professional background.
