Joshua Collins 345 West 11th Avenue, Anchorage, AK 99501 Tel: 907-555-7283; Fax: 907-555-1445 June 28, 2010 Ms. Sylvia Wong Wong Associates 2286 East Northern Lights Blvd. Suite 501 Anchorage, AK 99514 Dear Ms. Wong: I read of the opening for a public information assistant in June 27 edition of adn.com, and I would like to be considered for the position. I am a recent graduate of Greater Anchorage Community College (GACC), and I am interested in pursuing a career in public relations. My interest in a public relations career springs from my publicly acknowledged writing and journalism abilities. For example, at GACC, I was a reporter for the student newspaper and frequently wrote press releases for campus and community events. I have a wealth of experience using Microsoft Word in professional settings. Last summer, I worked as an office assistant for the architecture firm Colemen & Greenberg, where I used Word to create newsletters, brochures, and financial reports. During the school year, I also worked part-time in the GACC office of Community Relations, where I used the Word mail merge feature to create form letters and mailing labels. My enclosed resume details my skills and experience. I welcome the opportunity to discuss the position and my qualifications with you. I can be reached at 907-555-7283. Sincerely,
X J oshua Collins
