Remi Monoco, Executive Assistant
The Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance
457 Madison Avenue
New York, NY 10022
 
Dear Mr. Monoco:
I am applying for the position of Office Associate with the Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance (MWA) based on the recommendation of a mutual friend, Kim Power. I will graduate in May 2016 from the University of Virginia (U.Va.)  with a Bachelor of Urban and Environmental Planning, a Bachelor of Arts in French and a minor in Architecture.  I will be moving to New York City soon and see this position as the ideal opportunity to contribute the skills I have gained from my professional experience, academic studies, and diverse background. I share the belief with MWA that waterfront areas should be accessible for all, and I am strongly motivated to make the New York and New Jersey shores a pleasant place to live, work and play.
My organizational and communication skills are well demonstrated in my work experiences in nonprofit, corporate and student organization settings. Currently, I intern with Piedmont Council of the Arts which shares similar responsibilities to the position at MWA. During my internship, I provide administrative support, focusing on maintaining a contact database of local artists, creating a new filing system for the council and constructing e-mail campaigns.  I have also interned at KPMG Audit Form, a corporate environment where attention to detail was essential when managing client files and proofreading financial statements.  In addition, I handled event logistics and publicized events when I served as publicity chair of the Taiwanese Student Association at U.Va. I have acquired a sophisticated understanding of urban affairs through my studies. My coursework included site assessment and data collection, application of planning regulations, and   the development of recommendations in order to create neighborhood master plan and transportation plan. Originally from Taiwan, my residence in Germany, France and the United States, as  well as  my extensive travel  experience have fostered an ease in working with people from diverse backgrounds.
Kim  Power  is  sending  you  a letter  in  regards  to  my qualifications  and  I look forward  to discussing my candidacy for this  position  with  you  as  well. Thank you for your time and thoughtful consideration. I hope to hear back from you soon.
Respectfully,

Anna (Thi) Pan

400 Maryland Avenue, S.W. (FB-6, Room 7E230) Washington, DC 20202

Dear Ms. Nawaz:
My experiences and status as a third-year at the University of Virginia make me an ideal candidate for the summer internship program with the U.S. Department of Education, which I learned about at the Government and Nonprofit Career Expo in D.C. last month. Your agency is known for working to ensure equal access to education for every child and promoting educational excellence throughout the nation.  I know that with my background and interest in helping youth, I am a good fit for your organization.
My volunteer work throughout college has confirmed my interest in and dedication to childhood education. By volunteering at Wesley Daycare in Charlottesville, Virginia, I learned a lot about child development by caring for children ranging from three months to three years old. During my time at Wesley, I had the opportunity to observe student and teacher roles and a variety of teaching techniques. Later, these skills became important when I volunteered with the Migrant Aid program and had the opportunity to tutor two high school students.  I now look forward to serving as an advocate for youth education by working in your After-School Programs Division.
I am prepared for this administrative role as a result of my position as an intern at the Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service last summer.  There, I coordinated internship placements for over 200 students in the Charlottesville community.  More specifically, I collected and organized applications, corresponded with students and sponsors via email and phone, maintained an updated Excel database of all internship sites and sponsor contacts, and created orientation packets.  I have honed the organizational and time- management skills necessary to be a successful intern with the Department of Education.
Thank you for reviewing my application.  Should you have any questions, you may reach me using the contact information listed above.

Best regards,

Dear Hiring Manager:
Please accept this letter and the attached resume as an indication of my sincere interest in the open legal assistant position at Garvey, Schubert & Barer that I found on CAVLink, the University of Virginia’s job database.  I graduated in December 2014 with a degree in History and Sociology and would like to gain experience in the legal field before applying to law school. While reviewing your website, I was pleased to see that your firm operates in a wide variety of spheres. The areas of your practice to which I am particularly attracted are the Environment & Natural Resources and Land Use & Condemnation sectors.

Throughout my college career, the courses I found most interesting were those revolving around subjects such as law, business, and land use.  After taking a course in Land, Law and The Environment, my professor took me on as an intern to work at the University’s Institute for Environmental Negotiations. My internship included reading reports, analyzing data, conducting active research contacting persons of interest to arrange interviews, and giving reports of my findings.  From my coursework and professional experiences, I have developed the researching, analytical thinking and writing skills necessary to be a successful legal assistant. In addition, I am aware of the long hours and hard work that is required of the role.  I am ready to dedicate myself to Garvey, Schubert & Barer in much the same way that I committed myself to being a varsity athlete. As a member of the swim team, I devoted up to 30 hours a week to practices, travel and competition while maintaining a full course load.
I am eager to learn from the many successful lawyers at Garvey, Schubert & Barer holding high peer review ratings in accordance with Martindale-Hubbell Legal Network.  I hope that you will afford me the opportunity to become a member of your team.

Thank you for your time and consideration.  I can be reached via phone (865-987-2222) or email (whuffman@gmail.com).
