Letter Requesting Career Advice

Dear Ms. Rowe,

I am a friend of Emily Little and she encouraged me to forward my resume to you. I know Emily through a local children’s theater, for which I was a lighting assistant this semester. I also see her at college music performances, as I am in the orchestra.

I'm interested in getting a job, as well as a place to stay, in the Boston area for the summer. I would appreciate any recommendations you can offer regarding this job search and looking for apartments.

Attached is my resume. Most of my theatrical experience is in lighting and TD; however, I have done everything, from props to state management.

Thank you for your time. I will call tomorrow to see when you might be available for a brief conversation. I look forward to speaking with you.

Sincerely,

Susan Sharp
