About me
Dear Sir / Madam,
My name is Camilla Newnum and I am interested in applying for the position of Editorial Assistant. I am a graduate of the University of East Anglia with a Bachelor of Arts in American and English Literature. I have a strong background in Administration with P.A experience, and I have recently relocated to London to pursue a career in Fashion. I am currently working as a sales associate on a temporary basis at Harrods and I am available to start immediately.
I have strong written and verbal communication skills, gained through my degree, and expanded upon by solid experience of report writing, presentations, minute writing, and proof reading for senior directors at the NHS. I have excellent working knowledge of Microsoft Office, Outlook and Excel, Adobe Suite and Photoshop from both personal and professional use. Whilst working for the NHS, my role was focused on administration support. Duties were varied but included mailing, record keeping, answering and dealing with calls, meeting national deadlines, organisation and attendance of conferences with all levels of seniority and setting up facilities and managing room bookings.
My previous experience writing for the University of East Anglia's culture and lifestyle section left me with excellent skills to write exciting and concise articles, and this was further expanded upon by modules I took at University in Fashion Journalism. Whilst working for Harrods, I have had the opportunity to experience Fashion retail. Working across all departments at Harrods, including womenswear, I have strong product knowledge and a passion for current trends. I was also fortunate to take a four week internship at the publishing house Hachette Filipacchi, where I worked as an assistant to the Art Director supporting the iconic fashion magazine Elle.
You will find me to have an engaging and bubbly personality and an enthusiasm for fashion and beauty.
I would love to meet you to find out more about the role and to discuss your expectations for an ideal candidate.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Camilla Newnum.
