About me

08/08/2011

Dear Sir / Madam,

I am applying for the Proofreader vacancy advertised on *, which will give me the opportunity to utilise and further develop my skills.

The experience I gained working as an assistant writer for the boarding section of my school magazine enabled me to delegate, proofread and edit articles. My time spent at University developed my time management and organisational skills further by giving me the opportunity to prioritise and manage my work effectively. I have experience working to deadlines both quickly and accurately and have an excellent eye for detail.

My role as a customer assistant at Marks and Spencer developed my customer service skills especially communication with customers and colleagues at all levels. I have excellent teamwork skills and I am able to motivate members of my team to ensure standards are met.

I have just finished a course that leads to a diploma in proofreading. I have also started a copy-editing course. I am always looking for the chance to further improve myself.

I have attached my curriculum vitae and look forward to hearing from you.

Yours Sincerely,

Janet Fuller
