America,97, Arc Heights,Houston 77001Dear Mr. BarringtonRe: Apprentice for Strategic Communication I am writing to apply for the position of Apprentice for Strategic Communication as advertised recently in Houston Morning Star.

I am currently a student with my major being Strategic Communication. I am an extraordinarily interested and passionate about ever-growing communication systems, and the opportunities they afford to a creative individual like me. Though I have not worked for any Organization so far, as I am still the student doing the course in Strategic Communication, I have tried my hand at writing media releases, letters to the editor of many periodicals and newspapers on current topics, participated in debating competitions and have been actively associated in bringing out the quarterly newsletter in my educational institution.

I am one of the core group members that handle the media enquiries and assist the fresher seeking admission to the college. I was also a member of the negotiating committee that visited the Mayor to discuss and upgrade the communication strategies in the educational institutions. I was actively associated with the job up updating the website of my institution and expand its reach in tune with the latest developments and improvements. Communicating with the social medial platforms is also my responsibility.

By pursuing the policy of ‘earn while you learn’ I have designed websites and also wrote their contents for the benefit of a number of organizations. These experiences have been quite challenging as the companies often sought my suggestions in proactive campaign-driven releases and responsive communications. I have tendered appropriate solutions to their crisis situations promptly and this has enhanced the reputation of those organizations. I have developed good grasp of their competing priorities.

I am fairly conversant with the environment legislation and have read hundreds of articles on environmental protection and the role of the common man, organizations and the government in this regard. I know the type of messages to be given to different types of audiences and possess good oral and written communications skills. I can draft questionnaires on the relevant subjects and can conduct radio interview. I have also appeared in question-and-answer sessions in television programs. I have intense interest in environmental issues and about protecting flora and fauna of Mother Earth.

I regularly participate in the conservation programs held in the city of Houston. I therefore seek the golden opportunity to work for a sterling organization like Clean Environment! America, to contribute to the propagation of green message and involve in the related practices. I am quite enthusiastic to leverage my classroom learning into real world challenges. My resume is attached and I look forward to hear from you to enable me to discuss my position with you further. I thank you in advance for reviewing my application.

Yours sincerelySignature)Zongheng Liu
