Manager, College Relations

Dear Mr. Santos:
Attached please find a resume for your consideration of employment with Lancome
International. At present, I am a senior at Bucknell University, completing requirements for a
double major in Psychology and French. It is my goal to relocate to Los Angeles after
graduation. I plan to pursue a marketing career within an international cosmetics company and
am writing to inquire about available positions within your Los Angeles office.
I have valuable skills and experiences which would prove useful to Lancome. At Bucknell, I
maintained a 3.0 GPA and my overseas study experience in Paris improved my French language
ability to the point of fluency as well as increased my confidence in independent decisionmaking. I have worked an average of 15 hours per week during the academic year and each
summer have held full time employment. A hard working individual, I perform well under
pressure and enjoy using my research writing and organizational skills.
I am planning to be in Los Angeles this January and would appreciate the opportunity to speak
with you regarding employment options at Lancome. Thank you for your interest and
consideration. I shall call to discuss the possibility of scheduling an appointment.
Sincerely,
John Graham
