Magister Management program in Universitas

Upon googling for a career opportunity, I am very

delighted to find there is an opening for Account

Coordinator position in Google Indonesia. I am

excited because believe in the power of a great

Brand that Google represents – a brand that can

change the face of the industry. And, it would be a

great pleasure to be a part of that movement.

When I met a guest lecture from Google Indonesia

in my Integrated Marketing Communication class in

May 2013, I was inspired on how Google works on

things that matters and cool, such as ____ [give

your example here]. And I want to be a part of that.

I find out that the job requires to work within and

post campaigns. This is where I know I can fit in,

because in graduate school I took on roles as the

project leader where we managed to get As when

required to create campaigns. This also shows my

enjoyment in working with people.

I would love to be able to contribute to your

organizations from the things I learn in my formal

Integrated Marketing Communication, Brand

Management, New Product Development and

Marketing Research. For example, I would love to

share with you about behavior insights I learn from

my latest project which is based on the newly

emerged subculture called ‘Flashpacker’. In it, I

research their behavior in seeking information about

travel destinations by measuring their cognitive and

affection from the images from a campaign video of

Wakatobi.

It would be a pleasure to have the opportunity of an

interview so that we both can explore if we are a

good fit. Please feel free to contact me should you

have any more questions.

I thank you for your time reviewing my resume, and

for your consideration. I look forward to hearing

what the next step would be.
