Dear Ms. Fuller
RE: Vacancy for Junior Writer
I am very excited indeed at the current vacancy you have for a Junior Writer !
I am hoping you will consider me for the position, and I believe I have the
qualities that you are looking for.
My chosen writing sample is two randomly picked pages from the introduction
of my Undergraduate Dissertation entitled: " The Role of Body Imagine in
Aesthetic Appreciation of Non-Body Stimuli. A Biased Interpretation ?" (for
which I received a 2:1). I enjoy all types of writing, from poetry to satirical
commentary and review, but I think this best illustrates my writing style with
reference to the above job and is the work I am most proud of.
Although I chose to undertake a Bachelor of Science rather than Arts, I feel
this has helped me to develop a writing style that is precise and succinct in
manner but also with a strong factual (and evidence based) orientation. Indeed,
my degree in Psychology itself is very applicable to the marketing arena. I
hope this balances well with my love of writing imaginative and personal narrative
and that both would be of relevance in writing good marketing copy.
I have been working freelance for a year, selling online myself and on a
commission basis, building good customer relations and a strong commercial
awareness.
I have been writing for my own enjoyment for as long as I can remember and I can think of
nothing better than being paid to write every day. Whilst I may not fit the mould of
your specifications exactly, I am not someone who really fits a mould. I believe I am
creative, logical, honest and most importantly, I'm not afraid to step outside the 'box'.
Yours Sincerely
Cathy Blacklock
