About me
Words are everything.
From scanning the headlines on a cramped tube carriage, to choosing the type of sandwich that will make or break our waistlines. From a blazing row with a lifelong friend, to a wedding proposal sprung from out of the blue, words have the ability to alter our paths, change our mindsets and manipulate our decisions.
The ability to read and write are both learnt from a young age, but to be able to captivate a customer, sway a decision and empower an audience takes experience, skill and knowledge.
I have been developing this skill for the last seven years and I would love to be given the opportunity to show you what I can do. I have a first class honours degree in fashion journalism (ten a penny) and a gold standard NCTJ qualification (not uncommon) but my dedication and passion for writing is something that I believe makes me stand out from the crowd.
I was brought up in a little village in the Yorkshire Dales where suspicious residents would scan my fashion-conscious dress sense and cast me a confused look. Whilst most stayed in the village year-after-year, I left for university and the day after I graduated, I packed up the car and moved to London to pursue my career in writing.
I am currently a web copy producer at John Lewis head office but I am now looking to take the next step in my career and to help to transform a company with my skills.
I have attached my C.V to this email and hope to be offered the opportunity to show you what I can do.
Many thanks,
Katie
