[quote name='lordwow']Ah, it's nowhere that bad. I have all the qualifications except the experience in the field, but I could wiggle it around and say I have experience in PR in other forms of media (which I do), but it may not be what they're looking for.[/quote]
I wouldn't say you're completely unqualified for it then. At least not in the sense I was.
 
Ya, I agree. I'm applying to a handful of jobs this weekend anyway, so might as well throw it out as I'll have everything done except the cover letter.

Dear Hiring Manager:

My name is Temporaryscars and I’m interested in the XXXX position at XXXXX.

I have a bachelor's degree in journalism from New Paltz University and have a little over three years of combined experience in print journalism and public relations. Along with my experience in PR and journalism, I am also technically proficient when it comes to using sophisticated computer programs and have excellent oral and written communication skills. I excel at meeting deadlines and can get the job done right when the pressure is on.

With those skills, I know I can handle the responsibilities the position requires and help XXXXX achieve its goals. I hope that you will consider me for an interview so that we could discuss this further.

P.S. I would like to restate my desire to interview for the position of XXXXXXX. XXXXXX is No. 1 on my list of companies I want to work for. I can be reached on my mobile phone at 315-572-9343. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Temporaryscars
 
Thanks Temps. I have about 5 cover letters I use for the different fields I've worked in (Media Production/PR/student affairs/event planning/security), but they're similar, I just highlight different skills and attributes.
