Cover Letter Tips: Cover Letter Example Showcasing Bilingual Skills, #2

September 18, 2009

Here is another cover letter example using a different business scenario in which you can explain how your bilingual skills would be beneficial to the company where you are applying.  As with yesterday’s example, you will be able to see in the sample paragraph below how I showcased the fact that I am bilingual – along with my individual knowledge of the Hispanic market.

This example is for a sales or customer service position at an insurance company. Again, I’m going to include a paragraph in the cover letter about the fact that I’m bilingual and bring up some of my Hispanic market experience and knowledge.

Sample paragraph: “Today I am applying for the bilingual sales/customer service position at ____ (insurance company name) because I see the need to provide the Spanish population with more insurance knowledge and with more choices. My goal would be to have a more personal connection with your clients and to service them in their own language, to create more brand loyalty. I can write, read and speak Spanish and English fluently, and would like an opportunity to meet and discuss your Hispanic market plans in more detail.  I believe that I can be an asset to ____ (insurance company name).”
