Cover Letter

Dear Conde Nast Traveler,

       My name is Susan Doucet and I am a student at the University of New Hampshire. I am writing to you to apply for the Associate Editor position that you are currently looking to fill. I will graduate from UNH in spring 2014 with dual majors in Journalism and International Affairs, along with minors in studio art and French. I also have travel experience, having spent a semester abroad in Dijon, France.

       While at UNH, I worked as a staff writer for the college's newspaper, The New Hampshire. When I graduate, I will also have completed an internship, providing me with experience at another newspaper.

       The qualities listed for the job description include qualities that I believe that I have, such as strong organizational and writing skills. I am extremely organized, and work very hard to meet deadlines, while always completing my assignments at the highest quality. While I have previously worked at newspaper publications, I would like to work for a magazine and be involved with a more creative publication, such as Conde Nast Traveler.

       Conde Nast is one of the most prestigious publications in the United States, in my opinion, and I would be very honored to work for such a well-esteemed company. I feel that I am very qualified for this position, and would love to be considered for the position of Associate Editor.
       Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
      Susan Doucet
