About me

To Whom It May Concern,

I wish to apply for the position of a Volunteer Journalist advertised on Indeed website. After graduating in Music and English Literature my writing over the years has become confident and defining as my literary abilities have took flight and matured immensely.

I am a passionate, hard-working and driven individual and I thrive on working under pressure and trying to find solutions daily in my work. Creatively writing is my platform to excel and produce an array of enticing and illuminating written works.

Words fundamentally offer me an output to let my inner creativity out and take precedence. Over the last few months I have held a voluntary position as a Freelance Music Writer for an online music publication which has allowed my writing to progress and develop. Passion about what I do and a clear understanding allow me to confidently write features on said artist(s), giving them exposure to an audience, whereby my words are the platform into getting their music heard.

I am a quick learner, dedicated and I know my writing is more than just words on a page/screen, I have the ability to make it more, I can entice, allure and achieve so much more than words and would love to develop these skills properly and be trained up by yourselves. I want to learn and for someone to want to give me this chance to help nurture capabilities, whereby I can be the best I can be.

I have recently carried out work for Edward Ridding brand and marketing company in Liverpool on a temporary basis where I was involved in writing the copy for a Chinese restaurant (CHY Liverpool) and also a Design and Construction company(PKS Design & Construction). I was tasked the job of writing their online website copy and updating their social media sites.

Please see below a few examples of my work for your consideration:

I would be grateful if my application could be given your careful consideration and I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Melanie John
