About me

Dear Sir/Madam

I am currently working as the Marketing Team Manager of a business services start up, but have decided that I want a new challenge and a chance to develop myself further. In the five months that I have been working for the company, I have made significant progress, from working as an account manager, to business development, and finally here in marketing.

I believe that I have found my calling in copywriting - I have always enjoyed and had a talent for writing, and I am delighted that I now do it for a living. I have relished taking on the extra responsibilities that have come with managing a small team, and being able to have a say in the decision making has been enjoyable - I am opinionated, and if I feel that an issue needs addressing I will not avoid it. I love sharing knowledge and points of view with other people, be it with friends or online using social media platforms, which I use every day.

My time studying Business & Management at the University of Sussex was a valuable experience - the knowledge I gained stretched far beyond just business; I also honed my research, writing and argumentative skills there. I learnt how to plan properly and write to deadlines, and this is something that I now consider a big strength of mine.

I set high standards for myself at work, as you have to when you are writing copy that will be seen by many people, and I push myself to learn new things every day. I want to be working in a fast moving environment where I am free to express myself creatively, which is one of the reasons why I am applying for this job.

I am ready for a fresh challenge - I am a person that wants to constantly improve and develop, and I feel that working for you would be an excellent opportunity to do so.

Thank you for considering my application, and I am available for interviews. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully

Luke Watkin
