“Dear Ms. Carrie Green,

I am writing to express my interest in finding a job within the Cosmetics industry where my knowledge and skills will be of value.

I have always stayed updated with all the latest make-up trends and styles and have a good eye for detail, so I know what suits different types of individuals the best. I have a natural talent for helping people find the best cosmetics for their needs along with the ability to explain how certain products can benefit the user.

My energetic and friendly personality combined with my knowledge of cosmetics help to make me a great candidate for a sales position. I have the ability to give presentations, to help customers pick out the best samples that will enhance their features and to help them apply the products correctly.

I know how to make customers feel good about purchasing cosmetics and I have the knowledge and experience to give simple beauty tips that will help customers get the most from the items they buy. This will generate more interest in the products and help to encourage repeat business.

My knowledge includes a good understanding of skin allergies, so I can help customers with sensitive skin and other problems find the products they can use without worrying about having a serious reaction. My abilities also include setting up displays and maintaining a safe environment for sampling the products.

I am currently enrolled at Louisiana Technical College where I am in the process of earning a bachelor’s degree in business. I hope to find a position with advancement opportunities where my skills are used to create promotional offers that will increase brand awareness and enhance sales.

Please call (555)-555-5555 if you have a position available.

Respectfully,

Signature

“POSITION: Marketing Intern

To Whom It May Concern:

Hello, my name is [Name] and I am currently a sophomore at UC Berkeley, studying Business Administration.

I am interested in interning at Benefit because of my passion for marketing, the makeup industry, and Benefit itself. As I currently reside in the Bay Area, I wanted to find a makeup brand with a corporate office around here. I came across a few but decided to apply for Benefit, as I am an avid Benefit user (The “They’re Real!” mascara and Benetint are my holy grail products!). I love the products themselves, as well as the witty names they come with. Furthermore, the Benefit work culture seems to fit me well as I believe in having fun while working hard. I encourage such enthusiasm in my workplace as well as in the clubs I lead. The fast-paced environment at Benefit also suits me because as a student motivated to do many different things at once, juggling my time definitely makes my life very fast-paced, but nevertheless, very meaningful.

I believe that through my past marketing and leadership experiences I can bring a lot to the table as a marketing intern. Marketing is something I am quite familiar with as I am a founder and Vice President of Marketing for Pi Sigma Epsilon, Zeta Chi Chapter, a premier co-ed business fraternity focused on sales, marketing and management. I lead marketing and market research projects, spearhead recruitment every semester, and hold marketing workshops. Through partnering with several clubs and non-profits to lead projects, I will be able to successfully lead campaigns for Benefit and strategically choose the partnerships and promotions to be done. I will also be able to conduct good competitive analysis for Benefit, as competitive analysis is a task I am responsible for for the business fraternity.

I am also the marketing and social media coordinator for the UC Berkeley Fung Institute for Engineering Leadership, not only marketing their events through social media and conducting market research to reach the target audience of the event or program but also leading monthly meetings on branding, marketing strategies and social media. Acquainted with various social media sites, I will be able to increase Benefit’s social media following and strategically post to seize the most views. I am also familiar with branding; therefore, I will be able to help facilitate brand exposure to Benefit’s target audience..

I hope that I can utilize my marketing and leadership skills in this internship to help further increase Benefit’s product sales and further strengthen the already-popular Benefit brand. I will be free from June to August 2014 to intern every day, any hour.

Thank you so much for your time. I look forward to hearing back from you.

Best Regards,

[Name]”

“Dear Mrs. Smith,

I have always wanted to help people feel better about themselves. This brought me into the beauty industry. When I saw your company’s open beauty advisor position I knew I would be the perfect candidate for the job.

I graduated top of my class from Cosmetology College. While there I had an internship with a local magazine as a fashion and beauty consultant. I was in charge of choosing the look for the featured “up and coming model” and advised the make-up and hair artists on what to do. After college I worked at a high-end salon as a hair artist. Eventually, I worked my way up to floor manager.

While I managed the salon I grew its reputation as a business on the cutting edge of beauty and fashion. I instituted the newest beauty techniques, and the salon was the place to go for local celebrities and models.

I know I have what it takes to be the beauty advisor for your modeling company. I keep up with the latest trends and continually add to my education. Thank you for taking the time to consider my application, and please contact me with any questions about my qualifications or to set up an interview.”
