Your company has an impressive track record for mentoring entry-level accountants plus offering valuable experience in auditing, tax compliance and cost accounting. As a Rowan University senior, anticipating graduation in May, I am anxious to interview with you during your upcoming recruitment trip to our campus. My strong academic performance and outstanding internship experience make me a strong candidate for a junior accountant position with Coopers and Lybrand. As an honor student and recipient of the Medallion Scholar Award for the internationally accredited College of Business, I was chosen to intern for the local public accounting firm of Money and Associates CPA. At Money and Associates, I assisted with the preparation of clients for corporate tax audits and performed intake consultations for tax preparation purposes. My supervising accountant, Mr. Charles Money invited me to continue my internship for a second semester. On my internship evaluation form he wrote, "John's knowledge and ability to grasp accounting procedures and principles is quite impressive. His computer skills and team-working abilities make him a valuable resource. I believe John will develop into a top-notch accountant." Enclosed is a copy of my resume, which outlines my qualifications in further detail. I look forward to an opportunity to meet with you during the upcoming recruitment week at Rowan University. I can be reached at 856-863-9547. Thank you for your time and consideration. Respectfully, John Q.

I was excited to read your ad since I have had a long-time interest in pharmaceutical sales and your products sound particularly appealing to me. As a college student, I had the opportunity to experience in sales and customer service. Of particular interest to you, I worked at Glassboro Medical Supply serving customers who enter our store. Through reading professional periodicals and magazines that are sent to me as an employee of Glassboro Medical Supply, I have become knowledgeable of the different types of medical supplies. This knowledge enables me to fully address our customers� medical supply needs and answer their questions. Utilizing my proactive approach to sales and customer service, I increased sales this year by 20% over last year�s figures. In light of my accomplishment, my supervisor has given me the responsibility of developing a plan to market medical supplies to local drug stores. In addition to my work experience, I recently completed a course in drug/pharmacology terminology at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia. Completion of this course increased my knowledge of medicines and their effects. I have always had a strong interest in the medical/pharmaceutical sales field and have attempted to gain the knowledge and experience needed to work effectively in that capacity. With that in mind, I feel I am highly qualified for the position of sales representative for Savitz Pharmaceuticals. My enclosed resume outlines my qualifications in further detail. I welcome an opportunity to meet with you at your convenience. I can be reached at 856-256-4322 or on my cell phone at 856-222-2348. Thank you for your time and consideration.
