Dear (Mr. or Mrs.) (Last Name),

Thank you for considering me for the position of Public Relations Account Executive. I am confident that I am the right fit for your team.

I took some time to look at your website, and see that many of your clients are in areas where I already have expertise. As a public relations account coordinator at GTE&N, I currently serve all needs for two high-profile accounts that include a bank and a local coffee distributor. Through these two accounts, I have become adept at both B2B and B2C public relations outreach. Over the past two years, my responsibilities have steadily grown. My current responsibilities include:

• Overseeing event management for monthly client events at the bank, including handling invitations, event logistics and media outreach for possible coverage.

• Positioning the coffee distributor as a local business leader by creating opportunities for them to speak at local gatherings such as the Chamber of Commerce and networking events. Each month, I turn their speaking engagements into a column that runs in the local monthly business blog. Their goal is to solicit new business customers but also to attract good employees.

• Conducting daily news monitoring of our clients and their competitors.

• Maintaining updated news media lists and reaching out with appropriate story ideas.

• Compiling monthly reports for our clients.

• Assisting with new business outreach and plan development.

You will find that I have excellent interpersonal and written communication skills which allow me to work effectively with people of diverse talents and backgrounds. In the fast-paced agency environment I also have the ability to effectively manage and track multiple projects simultaneously, work well under pressure with a high degree of accuracy, and meet stringent and overlapping deadlines. I know exactly what it takes to thrive in an agency environment and am ready to put those skills to work for you.

I have attached my resume, with a link to my LinkedIn profile. I look forward to talking with you about the position in more detail.

Thank you for your consideration.

Yours truly,

 

Jane Doe
