RE: Communications Associate

Posted by Michele Gielis 2999sc on February 01, 2018

Dear Hiring Director,

Please accept this letter and accompanying resume in application for the Communications Associate role that is currently available with Mothers Out Front. In advance, thank you for your consideration.

I am excited to build a long-term career with your organization, and can offer cross-functional leadership experience in grassroots advocacy, campaign management, outreach, project management, program innovation, and public speaking. I m also highly regarded for my polished skills in writing, visual story-telling, relationship-building, and interviewing.

I ve advocated for a wide range of populations including the elderly, at-risk families, at-risk youth, and providers of services to help those in need. In 2012, I was selected as a member of the Alexandria City Policy Management Team where I partnered with school administrators, Department of Human Services, community service providers, and the City Council on programs and policies for low-income families. In 2015, I joined a nonprofit organization that advocates for older persons and I orchestrated the grassroots and member engagement program. In tandem with local elder services, I recruited and engaged elders and their loved ones in a wide range of advocacy initiatives.

I m well-versed in technology platforms that maximize advocacy efforts such as Phone2Action, Knowledgis, KnowWho, Cision PR, Vocus GR, and social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn. To complement my professional background, my academic credentials include an MPA degree and a Bachelor of Science in Public Administration.

As this is just a sampling of my job history, please refer to my attached resume for additional experience. I look forward to speaking with you personally, as I believe the sum of these aforementioned reasons will prove me to be an asset to your organization. Thanks again for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Yyyyyy x. yyyyyy
