About me

This is a covering letter to accompany my CV.

I have just completed my internship/work experience at 1st-Option Representation where I assisted the team with booking locations for photo shoots as well as using Photoshop to edit images of new locations to go onto the companies website. It was a fantastic opportunity and has given me a great insight into an aspect of the creative production industry. Unfortunately there wasn't a full time position available but the experience has been invaluable and I wish to develop my skills I have learned. My ambition is to work within a creative company in an administrative and business support role.

I have recently graduated from a The Arts University College Bournemouth gaining a BA (Hons) in Commercial Photography. I am now seeking a full time position in London as an assistant in a creative company. I made the decision to study for a Degree for my own personal achievement, returning to education as a mature student and chose the commercial course in order to learn more about the business side to the industry.

As well as assisting photographers, organising photo shoots and having hands-on experience with casting my own models, I became proficient with a range of software programs and editing techniques. I understand exactly what would be required of me if I was to work for your company; I can also make a very good cup of tea!

I have relevant previous work experience, gained prior to going to University. As well as providing excellent customer service, I am also an organised employee and can work well under pressure and keep a team motivated to meet deadlines and reach targets. I pride myself on having a fun and approachable manner but I am also driven to work hard and an enthusiastic team member.

In addition to my degree, I also have a Business AS level, a BTEC in Photography and a BTEC in Graphic design, I have always enjoyed being creative from as early as I can remember. I also have retail, sales and customer service experience and, within my previous roles, have liaised with external agencies and internal departments, as highlighted on my CV.

My CV, which is enclosed, contains additional information on my experience and skills. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss the job role. I can be reached anytime via my mobile phone or email I am available for interview and employment with immediate effect.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Yours sincerely,

Elizabeth Purdue
