SiriusXM + Pandora
Oakland, CA

Dear Hiring Manager:

I was excited to find that SiriusXM + Pandora is seeking a Product and UX Research Intern,
currently posted on indeed.com. I am a devoted Sirius and Pandora subscriber, and listen to a
broad range of music and podcasts daily. My diverse skills, experience and education sound
like a great fit for what you are looking for, and I would welcome an opportunity to learn more
about your UX team.

One of the key duties described in the posting stood out to me: Collaberating with cross
functional groups to identify key product enhancements and opportunities. A passion project of
mine included designing an app. I learned wiresketch framing to ensure I had a clear outline of
the product which I could then convey to the contract developers abroad. I created a test plan
for users and solicited user feedback for improvement. Having both an analytical aptitude and
a high degree of empathy allowed me to accomplish the goal of creating a technically savvy app
with a simple yet functional user interface. I would love to walk you through my portfolio to
show how my experience and skills could translate.

The unique combination of qualities I offer is a strong grasp of in-depth analyses, verbal
communication with a diverse audience (i.e. all levels of staff and management), and well-
honed creative thinking, possessing the ability to problem solve from different angles that may
not be obvious to typical analytical thinkers. I have always had an avid interest in human
behavior, so I have returned to school to obtain my B.S. in Psychology.

My natural curiosity and continuous desire to learn seems well suited for this opportunity, and I
am excited to explore how I may be able to help your UX team accomplish its goals. Thank you
for your consideration, and I look forward to meeting very soon.

Warmest regards,

Vanessa M. Seidler
