Even though my experience in formal journalism is minimal, I have been a writer for most of my life, and I consider myself highly motivated and willing to work hard for advancement in the media sector.

Part of my motivation for this application is to expand into more challenging aspects of technology, cultural (including music and film) journalism, as well as political writing, particularly in broadcast media.

I believe a future relationship with your publication may be beneficial to both me and the company.

Specifically, I can offer any interested media company the following technical and personal attributes:

In my role as journalist at CEO, where we are encouraged to work as individuals and as part of a team, while generating new and exciting content in innovative ways against strict deadlines, I believe I am a strong content editor and writer with meticulous attention to detail.

My journalism ability is still raw, but enthusiastic, and I am willing learner of new techniques and abilities, based on my solid understanding of all types of journalism.

I believe I have excellent people and process organisation skills, as well as a quiet and effective diplomacy in all interpersonal communication.
I have proven in my current position to my editorial department that I can professionally handle the stress of the job, and work effectively and efficiently under the pressure of deadlines based on strong time management principles.
Furthermore, and what I consider most important, I demonstrate creative initiative and passion for the work involved in being a journalist or part of a media team. I am an avid follower of socio-political and cultural trends both locally and internationally, and have a sound knowledge of all digital platforms and social networking activities, in addition to being comprehensively literate in all things IT.
