Sample Commercial
Hello, my name is Janet Danske and I will be receiving my Bachelor of Arts degree in English, with a minor in Economics from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County in May of 2009. During the past summer, I held an internship with Wells Fargo where I was developing customer correspondence including newsletters with featured products and services. My end of the summer evaluation from my supervisor was outstanding. During the academic year, I also worked an average of 15 hours per week as a writing tutor on campus where I assisted students with in all areas of development such as reports, letters and composition.
As I look toward graduation, I am very interested in utilizing my strengths in writing and forecast analysis within the financial industry. Would you happen to know of anyone who would be interested in hearing more about my strengths or perhaps you could provide me with suggestions on what type of work might be best for me?
