Dear Sir/Madam,

I have recently graduated from University of Westminster with BA (Hons) Journalism degree. I am looking for a suitable role in the media sector, preferably a journalist / creative writer position. That said, I have gained many transferable skills which could be used a variety of jobs ranging from PR to broadcasting to website management. I also make a killer cup of coffee.

During my three years at University of Westminster I was involved in a large number of multimedia projects, both part of the curriculum and independent. I have written news, reviews, opinion pieces and travel diaries. My favourite topics are technology, arts and culture. However, if I do enough research, I can engagingly write about almost anything.

I was part of a team which built a technology magazine from scratch, and pitched it to a panel of industry professionals. Another assignment had me design a website for a culture e-zine. My recent work for KitGuru.net involved writing in a more creative, blog-like style.

During studies, I mostly focused on print and online media. I was also able to get some experience in other aspects of media production - photography, video, podcasting. I sometimes help my brother, a cinematography graduate from AUCB, with his film work. I have written and directed a couple of short films myself.

I am quite good at research, as a result of my studies and long-term involvement with the internet. I like computers, and they seem to like me in return. I can use Twitter and Facebook as research or promotion tools, and whatever the next big thing is, I'm going to be first to get my hands on it.

Thank you for your time. I am available to start work immediately and I very much look forward to hearing from you in the future.

Sincerely,

Max Smolaks
