About me

Dear Sir/Madam,

I was excited when your job advert flashed across my screen. As a recent English Literature graduate, I believe that my experience, skills and career ambitions perfectly match what you are looking for. Here are three key reasons you should consider my application:

1) Exceptional writing and communication skills

As an English literature graduate, I have spent the last three years honing my craft, including both reading and writing. Mix this in with three years spent in the customer facing sector and I believe this gives me the perfect blend of these two key skills.

I have written essays on Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, delivered presentations on the use of social justice in comedy, put together creative pieces on the Holocaust and kept an ongoing dialectical journal on Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre.

2) Infectious enthusiasm

Three years of coursework analysing and evaluating texts and theories confirmed that my choice to study English literature was the right move for me. Whether it is analysing Karl Marx or comparing Wordsworth to Blake, I have gained a love for interpreting and perfecting people's expression.

I bring excellent research skills due to my natural curiosity of learning more about my subject as well as my passion and ability to throw my whole into everything I do in life. I am forever determined to get the job done. From combining Feminism and Psychoanalytical theory to The Yellow Wallpaper or presenting on the racism present in Shakespeare's Othello, I give my entire attention to every detail of a project.

3) Keen to progress

As a recent graduate, I'm looking for the opportunity to apply skills to a role and map out a career path for my future. I would be honoured to work for a company with a reputation such as yourselves and believe that it is a great opportunity for me to learn and flourish.

I appreciate your taking the time to review my application. Again, thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Markey
