Dear Hiring Manager,
I recently completed a BA in Communications, and I am excited to apply for the Marketing Coordinator position at Northwind Goods.
During my studies I grew my student society's Instagram from 400 to 3,000 followers. That experience taught me to plan, measure what works and adjust quickly.
I am eager to learn from your team and to contribute from day one. Thank you for your time; I would welcome the chance to talk.
Sincerely,
Alex Morgan
