Guatemala, February 14th, 2023 To the hiring team at BIS: I’m interested in applying for the the position of Communications consultant for the Social Protection and Health Division at the IADB, posted a few days ago on LinkedIn. I believe that, with my job experience and educational background, I have the skills and qualifications to excel in this role. As a marketing major with a master’s degree in Human Talent Management, and about to surrender my dissertation for my second master’s degree in Strategic Communication, I have developed a strong foundation in communication, analytical thinking, and problem-solving. In addition, my experience as a Digital Communications Professional at the Superintendency of Banks of Guatemala for more than four years has honed my criteria on strategic communication and Institutional Projection to all types of stakeholders. My proficiency in Spanish, English, and Italian allows me to communicate and interact effectively with individuals from different backgrounds, which would be an asset in a global institution such as yours. I am looking forward to contributing to the Inter American Development Bank, and am confident in my ability to fulfill the duties and responsibilities that the current vacancy requires. Thank you for considering my application. Sincerely, Lorena Velasquez Mérida Guatemala Lorenna.velasquez@gmail.com
