    Other:  Dear Sir or Madam,
    My name is Brent Gentry and would like your consideration in the position that you have available as Marketing Director. Currently, I am the Marketing Director at a publication in western Oklahoma. At this position I am responsible for managing 14 people in various counties. However, I recently went through a divorce and I am looking to relocate. I grew up in the media, with my father owning the publication in Ada, Oklahoma. "I was the kid in back rolling newspapers for the carriers to pick up when I was six years old." After attending college at Oklahoma University, I started my own publication at the age of 24 in Antlers,Oklahoma. I have compiled my experience as a professional in my attached resume. However, it still doesn't reflect on how I feel about the media industry. Marketing is my passion and really I enjoy helping my client's market their products and help them achieve their goals as well as my own. I am a third generational Publisher with a strong background in marketing. I have made sure my own and my staff quota's are always achieved. I believe in setting an example for my staff and wouldn't ask them to do anything I wouldn't do myself. I am the kind of professional that lives my job and believes in doing it well and exceed goals for better profit. I appreciate your consideration for my employment for this position. I wanted to say Thank you in advance for reviewing my resume and hope to hear back from you.
    Respectfully, Brent Gentry 1-405-819-5714
