Account Supervisor - Integrated Marketing for Professional Services - NYC

This is a unique opportunity to be a key player on a large, stable account at one of the best boutique firms in the city.  It's unique for a couple of reasons:  Although the client is a huge international professional services firm, the PR work is innovative...no pitching, no traditional PR.  For this account we are looking for creative and strategic thinkers who know how to pull it all together to create and implement interesting integrated programs that run across several industry sectors including financial sectors. The other unique thing is the agency itself.  It's a wonderful place to work -- great people who are smart, genuine and passionate about the work they do.  The firm invests in its people with training and thoughtful mentoring.  There's no politics and there is a great work/life balance.  It's a great combination of established and new.    We are looking for an account supervisor with experience in financial and B2B marketing.  Ability to manage ot

No, the “cover letter” is not 100% dead.  You never want to apply to a job via email by simply submitting your resume. No one wants to get a resume without something in the body of the email. A short message giving the reason for sending it and a brief idea of why you’re right for the job puts the resume into perspective.

The only exception would be if there is something very important that you want to say about yourself or if the company specifically instructs you to submit a cover letter When you are writing a cover letter or  completing an application, consider who is going to be getting it. If it’s an online application for a big company, chances are the recruiter handling the search might not understand much about the job. If you get too detailed within the letter, it’s going to fall on deaf ears. Instead, focus on getting the resume into the right
