Dear Mr. Franklin:

I am submitting my resume as an application for a Journalist position at the Time Mirror. As a trained journalist with over six years of extensive experience, I would like to explore the opportunity of working with the best in the trade.

My enthusiasm, stamina, and determination make me just the right candidate for this position. I have a complete understanding of the web and social medic aspects of this job which is why my work is not limited to just paper. Moreover, I can work in a deadline driven environment, and I bank highly on my ability to create copy based on events as they happen. My training and experience in this capacity have provided me with the ability to strategically develop written documents and monitor and cover multiple topics of interest which are sure to invoke curiosity. My concentration on lifestyle and human interest stories makes for engaging copy, and I have been prided with the Journalist of the Year award by the state two times in two years.

My work speaks for itself as I always make it a point to work diligently and honestly. I will be in Reno for the next three weeks and will be available for interview during this time. Please feel free to call me at (000) 444-4444 if you need any further information that I can provide.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

 

Sincerely,
