As an experienced sales and marketing executive, I have developed creative marketing strategies that doubled sales and profits during a five-year period. I possess an MBA and have over ten years of relevant professional sales experience, including five years in management. If your organization is looking for an experienced and self-motivated sales professional, you will be interested in reviewing some of my other accomplishments. I would be happy to meet with you at your convenience to discuss my qualifications in more detail. I will call you within two weeks to see if we can meet to discuss how I might be able to contribute to the ABC Company.
Many employers ask for references.
More often, you will take your list of references to your job interview and offer it to the interviewer. Choose your references carefully. Do NOT give a relative's name as a reference. Recent contacts in a related field that are enthusiastic about you are excellent references. You should always contact your references before giving out their name.
