Tom's work
About Tom
Dear Sir/Madam,
I consider myself to be the ideal candidate for this position as I believe I possess all the skills and experience necessary to carry out the duties required within this role.
Predominately the copy I produce is promotional work in order to sell my current company's product, including working on various different mediums; from e-mail campaigns and website promotions, to advertisements in several national newspapers and magazines such as The Guardian, The Telegraph, Men's Health and Cosmopolitan. The types of copy depends on the client or the type of advert, however I am fully competent creating all types of short and long copy e.g. advertisements, features, product descriptions and editorials. This also includes dealing directly with third-party clients to understand their demands and produce effective copy to achieve their aims.
The size of the company allowed me much more scope when carrying out tasks and has meant I have a lot more responsibility than may have been granted in a larger organisation. This depth and volume of work I have undertaken has allowed me to grow professionally very quickly, rapidly improving my accuracy when proofing and editing, as well as the quality of my overall copy. Furthermore, due to the nature of the product I work with I can easily and effectively adapt the aim and voice of my work to great effect in order to reach particular target audiences.
A major example of professional growth, as well as evidence of many other creative skills I possess, is my experience of working on a three month-long publication project for three years running, for which I have been project manager for two of these.
This project is the compilation and production of an annual restaurant guide. I have seen this project through from the development and planning stages, through to the design, editing, and finally the printing process. Being involved in every aspect of this project has given me great insight into many aspects of product development, and again has improved the strength of my own copywriting and editing skills. My work with others, including the delegation of roles and tasks, was greatly improved as I oversaw the whole production team, from designers to editorial assistants.
Major duties included writing various long features and editorials on restaurants as well as in depth discussion of the workings of the particular product. It also involved taking large amounts of restaurant information and condensing into short pieces of creative that would reach our demographic effectively.
I want to continue to grow as an individual within this profession, but also with an expanding team with great future prospects. I am young and ambitious yet eager to learn, and in short believe I would be a great asset to your team.
I have examples of all different aspects of my work available at request. I look forward to hearing from you regarding this position.
Kind Regards,
Tom Saleh
