Cover letter Dear Dr. XY, I am delighted that my candidacy for the role of Sales Support has appeared in the ad on your site on 30/09/2015. I grew professionally in the field of communication and organization of events, confronting me with dimensions and complexity. On my path, I had the opportunity to collaborate with important professionals at FIRST 1 and FIRST 2, learning time to run marketing and promotion activities in total autonomy. Today I am part of the marketing office of TODAY'S COMPANY, so I manage in-depth communication and on-line communication activities. I have learned to work in teams and autonomously depending on the projects I have entrusted and I have achieved concrete goals through the pursuit and proactivity, which are quite evident in me. Professional areas that today I think may be closer to my aspirations are related to operational support and relationship with customers, suppliers, and functional managers. In particular, the sales network support activity I have been doing in COMPANY 2 has taught me how to handle the requests of internal and external customers and how to address the needs of the most suitable interlocutors. Currently I am looking for new professional stimuli and opportunities, and since I feel that I have the features for the Sales Support role in your ad, I would be happy to meet personally or via skype for a conversation knowledge to provide More about me Skills and attitudes.
