Dear Hiring Manager, 2/15/15

I learned about the Social Media/Big Data Intelligence Analyst position from Indeed, a job opportunity search engine. I can bring excellent value to ListenLogic as a Social Media/Big Data Intelligence Analyst because I understand social media as a business tool, I have excellent communication skills, both oral and written, and advanced skill with Microsoft Office.

I have a good understanding of social media, which I gained both by being active on social media personally, and by managing the social media for bands of which I was a member. By keeping well maintained and frequently updated profiles across platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Soundcloud, I was able to reach potential listeners (namely teens and young adults) about upcoming events and record releases across a network of over 500 fans. I collected and analyzed data like user activity metrics and trending topics. Because of this experience, I will provide the perspectives of both a consumer and commercial user.

My writing and oral presentation skills are excellent. I demonstrated this skill when I spoke on behalf of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society on the steps of the Pennsylvania state capitol building. My ability to effectively communicate via writing and email are often praised by professors and colleagues. All of this means that I present information effectively and efficiently in writing and speaking.

I am proficient in Microsoft PowerPoint, Word, and Excel. I used Excel as a delivery driver to organize my route, and keep track of pick-up and delivery for more than twenty stops per day. Therefore, I built a reputation among customers for timeliness and accuracy in meeting special requests. In addition, I passed a Cyberspace and Society course, which focused on practical computer use including the Office Suite, with an “A” grade. This means I am not only proficient, but innovative in my use of Microsoft Office.

My understanding of social media as a business tool, derived from managing a social network reaching over 500 fans, coupled with strong business writing, presentation, and public speaking skills fit for the state capitol, as well as advanced skill with Microsoft Office make me an excellent candidate. Thank you for your consideration, I can be contacted by telephone at 987-654-3210, or by email at [email protected] if you have any questions or require further information.

Sincerely,

James Jones
