Dear Sir or Madam,
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is
Aristiwidya Bramantika, I recently graduated from
Magister Management program in Universitas
Indonesia, majoring in Marketing Management.
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
class-room work such as Consumer Behavior,
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.
Sincerely yours,
Aristiwidya Bramantika
