Dear Mr. Clark:

To succeed in the media and music industry, one must possess a flair for creativity, the ability to communicate effectively, initiative, and perseverance. Throughout this letter I would like to demonstrate such qualities and express an interest in the Communications Summer Internship with Genius. When I read the announcement posted on LinkedIn, I was immediately drawn to the opportunity.

Currently a junior majoring in business at Penn State University, I have demonstrated strong academic performance in all courses, maintaining a 3.2 GPA cumulatively, while balancing a part-time management position. I have also updated and managed a YouTube channel, which focuses on Hip Hop music editorial content. The courses I have completed have given me a solid foundation in the tools, processes and methodologies involved in business administration, which requires strong communication skills. I have a proven ability to learn challenging concepts quickly and have developed competencies in diverse areas, including:
• Industry research/information sourcing
• Updating databases
• Producing content
• Prepare Marketing Strategies
• Business Writing
• Social Networking
• Project Management
• Customer Service
I also bring to the table expertise in social media; expertise in MS Office; and familiarity with programs like: Final Cut Pro X and Word Press. I am impressed by Genius’s innovation and success, and I would very much like to be part of such a forward thinking company.

If you agree that I would make a valuable addition to your team, please feel free to call me at (xxx)-xxx-xxxx or email me at [email protected]. I know you are busy, so thank you for your time, and I look forward to speaking with you.

Sincerely,

Mateo Toro
