About me

Dear Sir/Madam,

RE: Copywriter for fabulous independent agency in Soho

In reference to your posting on creativepool.co.uk, I would like to apply for the above-mentioned position.

I am currently looking for a new employment challenge in London due to relocation and also a change of my career path.

While I know that my past working experience has equipped me with a wide and varied skill set including the building of teams and an in-depth understanding of anything digital, I acknowledge that my CV remains off the mark for the position as advertised.

However, having reached a point in my career where I am looking to change direction and explore new and more creative ventures I still thought it would be a pity to let this opportunity pass, however small chances are to make it through your selection process.

I will not go into more detail on my previous work experience as you can glean the necessary information from the attached CV directly. Rather, I would like to take a moment to detail my motivation for what can (or rather must) seem like a leftfield choice of application.

Having just finished a 1 year sabbatical during which I have pursued and realised one of my long held dreams of writing my own fiction novel, I can truly say that I have re-discovered my thirst for the creative side of life which lay buried under a pile of corporate rubble for a few years. This naturally led to a re-evaluation of the types of positions I want to go for. Having studied possible options, I realised that copywriting is an ideal choice for me as it represents an outlet for my creative urgings while tying it closely to concepts which answer the needs and expectations of your clients. Facing the challenge of coming up with something new and creative but still answering a brief or a concept to create mutually rewarding results is the exact thing I have been looking for longer than I have actually realised. Fingers crossed that it is not too late to make that leap...

In any case I thank you in advance for your consideration and would be delighted to hear from you.

Yours sincerely,

Rafael Wyss
