Greetings Human Resources Team,
My name is Eddie Maez and I recently came across a job posting for an opportunity within your company. After reviewing the requirements of the position, I feel that I may be a desirable match.
I've recently graduated from Santa Clara University with a double degree in Communication and Spanish. Nearly all of my job experience has been tailored to a marketing/PR focus. I've held an internship position at myCIO.com, a subsidiary of Network Associates, where I assisted in product marketing, the development of channels strategies and cohesive business planning for the sales force. On many occasions I would also assist in both writing press releases and building relationships with key partners in the media.
Prior to myCIO, I worked with OnTrak Systems, Inc., where I interned in the corporate marketing department, assisting in the development of collateral and the production of lead and competitive analyses.
My people skills are prime - I'm highly energetic, organized and I've had experience in management, sales, retail, advertising and conference coordinating.
Below is my resume for you to review. I hope you find me to be a potential match with your company.
Thank You!
Eddie Maez
