This cover letter example was written for a pharmaceutical sales representative. The pharmaceutical industry is very competitive with many multinationals offering medications for the same range of medical conditions. The applicant is well aware of that fact and emphasized right away in the first paragraph that she was someone aggressive (in the positive sense, of course) who could get results. In sales, numbers speak volumes and the applicant in this instance knows that full well. Later in the cover letter, she enumerated some key attributes such as her proven track record, her understanding of the pharmaceutical industry, her ability to cultivate relationships with decision-makers and her ability to manage client accounts. One would expect no less from someone claiming to be a top performer.
