Dear Ms. Tyler:
I am writing to express my interest in the Media Intern position with Ronald McDonald House Charities in
Omaha posted on Jobs4Jays. I am a junior at Creighton University pursing a Bachelor of Science in Business
Administration with a major in Marketing and am looking forward to continuing to work in marketing for a
non-profit organization. My previous experience working at a non-profit, in addition to my coordination
skills and creativity, make me a great fit for this position.
For the past year, I have worked as a Communications & Event Management Intern with the Down
Syndrome Alliance of the Midlands managing the marketing of the program. I strengthened my creative
skills by creating a successful marketing campaign which included print, web, and social media. In
particular, the social media portion of the campaign resulted in a 57% increase in web traffic to the
organization’s Facebook and Twitter accounts. I also managed databases of donors, volunteers, and media. In
this role I developed program coordination and budget management skills, in addition to learning about the
unique advantages and challenges of working for a non-profit organization. My extracurricular activities
have also provided me with opportunities to utilize my creativity and planning skills. As Vice President of
Service for Student Activities at Creighton University, I collaborate with a team of five board members to
provide events that support our community. Over the past year, I have planned the marketing and execution
of five events including working with community partners and supervising a committee of ten students.
I have a passion for working in the health field and would be excited to contribute to the fundraising effort
for Ronald McDonald House Charities in Omaha, an organization that raises over 80% of its budget from
donors. As a member of the Ronald McDonald House team, I would contribute my hands on experience in
the non-profit field and my skills in marketing and program coordination to help better people’s lives. Thank
you for your time and consideration. I can be reached by email at marcusjord[email protected] or phone at
402.111.1111. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Marcus Jordan
