Ms. Rosemary Kim Human Resource Manager California State Polytechnic University Pomona 3801 West Temple Ave. Pomona, CA 91768

Dear Ms. Kim:

I am writing in response to your advertisement in LA Times for a sales representative position at one of your branches. After reading your job description, I am confident that my skills, my passion for technology and as a business student of Cal Poly Pomona are a perfect match for this position.

I would bring to your company a broad range of skills, including communication skills, listening skills and problem solving skills. I would like to elaborate on my broad range of skills first of all my communication skills comes primarily from being in a fraternity. I am required to communicate with many people and I meet several new people almost all time. I am confident in myself in a public and social setting. I am not afraid to speak in a public setting therefore I am able to get my point across whenever I need to. Not to mention, I have also taken a public speaking class during my freshman year at Cal Poly Pomona which helps enhances my communication skills.

My listening skills come instinctively with my communication skills. I believe you can’t be a good communicator if you can’t listen at the same time for other people’s thoughts and inputs. These traits come from my eagerness to help people whenever they come to me for help or have problems. Being a student of Cal Poly Pomona, I am not unfamiliar with group projects and presentations. I have dealt with group projects in which we are required to communicate and listen to each group member in order to do a successful job which further enhances these attributes. I believe there isn’t just one way to solve a problem but try to develop different solutions and methods to reach my goals. I’m a good listener and will try my best to apply what I hear toward finding what’s right for the customer. I believe I possess the curiosity, knowledge, and eagerness to solve customer needs. That is why I would be a perfect sales representative for your company.

I would welcome the opportunity to further discuss this position with you. If you have questions or would like to schedule an interview, please contact me by phone at (626)-329-8973 or by e-mail at sfchen@csupomona.edu. I have enclosed my resume for your review, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes, Steven Chen
