Dear Human Resources Personal,

I am writing to express my interest in the Marketing Associate position in Chicago, IL as seen on LinkedIn. My name is Chris Schroeder, and I am a hungry, motivated, self-starting individual with a passion for using cutting edge technology to optimize and innovate marketing performance and creating positive and meaningful relationships in a growing, international environment. I am confident that the skills I gained during my two and a half years in South Korea as well as previous work experience will be a valuable contribution to the @Properties marketing team.

As a Cultural Ambassador for the U.S. Department of State, I designed and tailored my own American culture and English Language classes to both students and working professionals which worked to bridge the cultural gap and promote more communication between the United States and South Korea. Through my classes and lectures, I created ongoing conversations on how people act together from different backgrounds to better expose them to new ideas and cultures, and to achieve a better life in a growing, global village. I was obsessive in my pursuit to give the necessary materials and support so my students and working professionals could dive deeply into creating solutions to today’s societal problems. By interacting everyday with people from all over the world, I can bring my multicultural knowledge gained from my time in South Korea to better promote the @Properties brand.

During my time as a Globalization Consultant for In Times In, I consulted with all levels of Hyundai Motors Company management and employees to increase their cultural awareness and better prepare them for working internationally. I also rapidly designed and edited innovative interview questions on a tight schedule, knowing that my actions were reversible, and I could come back to perfect my work. This resulted in the development of more quality questions focused on complex cultural/business problems. By collaborating with employees from all different departments and cultures, I also honed my interpersonal skills to better communicate with all levels of management, employees, and clients.

In addition, as the Study Abroad Coordinator for Denison University’s study abroad program, I have the needed skills to create, develop, and execute evocative marketing campaigns through various media outlets that engage different communities. Whether creating compelling marketing or editing materials for people with diverse cultural and business backgrounds or using data and analytics to innovate business strategies, my attention to detail and multicultural and multilingual background will create successful, meaningful marketing results.

Throughout the years, I have developed excellent communication and analytical skills, strong and lasting relationships, and meticulous attention to detail. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my skills and my passion to @Properties and the Marketing Associate position.

Please contact me at------------ or ------------ to further discuss this opportunity. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Christopher Keun Schroeder
