Dear Employer:
In response to your advertisement regarding a possible position open
within your organization, I am enclosing my resume for your review.
I have a year's experience interning at 1050 ESPN radio in Manhattan.
I have learned a lot from that experience. I have covered events
such as the Roger Clemens fiasco with his former trainer, to the
Yankees firing Joe Torre. I have learned the preciseness that is
needed when covering a live show, as well as the adaptability that is
needed when things do not go as planned. This has given me a pretty
calm demeanor, especially when things do not go right in the
workplace; instead of acting out of frustration or emotional fits, it
is best to take things as they are, and step by step. Working at
1050 ESPN, has been a very fun experience, I have made friends with a
lot of people, and it was almost like a family atmosphere where we
all had each others backs.
I am very knowledgeable about the advertisement field from my time in
College, where I have taken some classes that dealt with public
relations. My time at 1050 ESPN has been of considerable help, as we
tried to keep substantially different age groups happy, on entirely
different shows; as well as try to make the advertisements between
shows as enticing as possible. While working for T-mobile, I have
also learned a considerable deal regarding advertising. You have to
figure out what phone fits what demographic, and how to persuade that
person into buying it, at the same time. These experiences have
strengthened me on many levels, and helped me become more versatile
and intuitive in relation to problems in the work place.
I am available for an interview at what ever time is best for you.
Thank You for your time and consideration
Sincerely,
07666
