My name is Max Gibson, and I am currently a senior Communications major at Loyola Marymount University. I write to you to today to express my desire to be a part of your company, while also highlighting some of my attributes that make me an appropriate candidate.

Originally, my affinity for the internet has compelled me to seek out this opportunity as a means of immersing myself within this extraordinary communication medium. The vast abilities to form relationships, and interact with people from all over the world, through the internet is the most exciting cultural phenomenon that I know of. Whether through connecting with friends, performing commerce, or merely sharing information and ideas, the internet has allowed each of us a voice, which we can use to benefit our society, in a plethora of ways.

Furthermore, the facilitating processes that the internet affords, has compelled me to ponder ways in which I can benefit others as well. Recently, I have written business plans for two websites, in hopes of promoting discourse in regards to shared interests. Specifically, I have been developing ideas for a student oriented website, aimed to facilitate specific and particular information about the college experience to incoming students and parents. In order to demystify the perceptions of what college is, I seek to relate real and pertinent information to those that need it. In addition, I have also been working on a website to facilitate pick up basketball games in cities and urban environments.

I feel as though my efforts previous to my discovery of this opportunity are similar to the objectives of Resumebucket, as your company seeks to assist and enable individuals through your facilitating medium. As afore mentioned, it is my goal as a member of the younger generation to familiarize myself with the processes of this communicative space in order to provide opportunities for others looking to learn and share from their expertise and experiences.

I have taken various communication courses which have served as a means for me to improve my writing ability, and methods of articulation. Courses in Rhetorical Theory have allowed me to understand the essence of messages, by analyzing the ways in which meaning is created. In addition, I believe that by being a part of your organization, I can use my understanding of communication to forge new relationships for the company, while also adding to the culture of the organization through my vivacious attitude and desire to achieve.

Thank you very much for the opportunity to be a part of your company, I know that these experiences will add to my development as a person and a professional as I embark upon this new phase of life.
