To, Finance and HR Officer UQ International Level 2, JD Story Building The University of Queensland Brisbane QLD 4072 Subject: Marketing Officer Position Application, Reference Number: 3021246 Members of the Selection Committee: Incidentally, I am an international student (from India) here at Johnson & Wales University (JWU). I have completed my Associates of Science in Advertising Communications and am on verge of completion of my Bachelors of Science in Marketing. I was able to optimize the opportunities provided by the University of being able to take five courses every trimester and finish both, my associates and my bachelors in 2.5 years. Since finishing high school in November ’07, I have had the opportunity to hold various positions, namely; Student Counselor, Career Mosaic Pvt. Ltd.; Office Assistant, Career Development Office (JWU); Marketing Intern, (add)ventures, and Community Assistant, Residential Life (JWU). I have acquired different skills and perspectives from each of the above mentioned positions as briefly highlighted in my resume. I would like to specially point out my experience at Career Mosaic and (add)ventures as I believe that the experience gained from the combination these two position would make me a competitive candidate for this position. My position at Career Mosaic required me to have a thorough understanding of different possibilities available to students with different educational backgrounds. Hence, it required me to deal with students at different mental levels as well, some who are in senior year of high school and others that have finished three and four year bachelors or a masters degrees. I was also trained to assist students to put together a proper university application with all the required documents depending on the program they apply to and the university, along with specific visa processes and documentation. It was an extensive position as far as duties and knowledge is concerned. After I came to JWU, I started working on the other end of the spectrum; I received international students and actively guided them through the orientation, paperwork and much more. On the other hand, my position at (add)ventures not only enabled me to work with marketing Gurus first hand but it also gave me depth and perception of the field. I was able to learn how to put theories into practice as well as measure and compare the results to prior set goals of specific marketing activities, strategies, and plans. I feel that the combination of my experience in dealing with and recruiting students for universities in a foreign country with my knowledge in marketing can be of a great resource and an asset to UQ International and UQ as a whole. If given an opportunity to interview, I believe I can strengthen the claims that I make above in this covering letter with the portfolio of work that I have done in the past 2.5 years. I am very keen on this position because I am confident about one thing; who can recruit international students better than an international student herself? I also understand that currently, I am not Australia and hence I will be able for a phone interview if required. Sincerely, Anuja Mehta Email: [email protected] Tel: +1 631-703-5676
