I believe my skills and experience would benefit your firm in a number of ways. First, as an
undergraduate at the University of Minnesota, I was the associate news editor for The Minnesota
Daily. My degree in English and my journalism experience have given me significant writing
and research skills, as well as the ability to work efficiently under tight deadlines. Additionally,
as an intern this past summer with Kemper Insurance Group, I developed strong organizational
skills and learned to work effectively on group projects. Finally, my current volunteer work at a
battered women’s shelter, in addition to my full-time studies, has strengthened my time
management skills.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss my qualifications with you further and will contact
you shortly to see if we can arrange an appointment during my semester break, December 19 to
January 5, when I will be in Minneapolis visiting my family. Thank you in advance for your
consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Kari M. Haveland
