About me

Dear Recruiter,

I am a motivated and goal driven professional who has fulfilled a variety of positions within broadcast, factual entertainment and corporate production industries. I have a desire to join a thriving company that reflects my ambitious and entrepreneurial spirit where I can progress my career.

Working in production and project management has enabled me to hone essential organisational, administrative, budgeting and management skills, whilst through camera operation, directing and producing I developed my hands-on production skills. These skills enable me to identify and deal with, potential problems before they materialise as well as the drive to do whatever it takes to keep the production department on schedule. I am calm when working under pressure, to tight deadlines and adapting to last minute changes or shooting priorities whilst maintaining complete control throughout.

I develop creative and interesting ways of delivering a brief and have an excellent working knowledge of program making. I really enjoy supporting the entire production team with my first class communication and interpersonal skills, a precise attention to detail, and ability to be diplomatic in sensitive situations. I understand the importance of leading by example constantly seeking to achieve the highest standards for myself and my team, going above and beyond at every opportunity.

Outside of academic and work related information I am a very confident social person, a huge sports enthusiast and supporter of the arts and partaking in a wide range of activities including football, surfing, the theatre, cinema and live comedy shows.

I have a genuine passion for broadcast media and I believe that my management experience and creativity will help deliver first class in house organisation, exemplary content to clients, and contribute to the continued growth of an industry-leading broadcast company.

Many Thanks,

Ed Mellish
