About me

Dear Sir / Madam,

I wish to apply for the role of Senior Content Executive, currently being advertised on Creative Pool and I attach my CV for your consideration.

I have over 15 years experience in the Travel industry, and more than 10 years experience in content writing, and I believe the knowledge and skills built up during this time make me the perfect candidate for the role.

In my current role as a Incentives and Groups Manager at Falcon Africa Safaris, I have been responsible for growing and marketing the business, which when coupled with my enthusiasm, tight content writing and attention to detail, has helped the business to reach the highest turnover the company has seen since its inception in 1990.

I am confident that I can bring this level of success with me to your organisation and help Jacada Travel build upon their reputation as a leader in tailor-made luxury travel for the discerning traveller. With my previous experience and expertise, I believe my contribution will have an immediate impact on the business.

I am South African born with a British father (British passport). Countries I have lived in include South Africa, England, Australia and the U.S.A.

In my work and personal travels, I have:

Cruised past the Arctic circle in Norway to see the Northern Lights

Taken a number of incentive trips to experience the Great Wildebeest Migration in the Masai Mara. I've stayed at, and seen, a lot of the best properties in Kenya

Travelled through 32 States in the U.S.A. (from New York to Colorado to California to Florida)

Snorkelled the Great Barrier Reef

Experienced the unique wonders of the Okavango Delta (some of the very best water, land and combo camps)

Snow mobiled along the Russian border

Tasted wines in Bordeaux, France and dined in a 500-year old chateux

Visited some of the top ski resorts in the U.S.A. I've hiked the beautiful Colorado trail

Sipped cocktails on the shores of the Seychelles and Zanzibar

Stayed in top game lodges in South Africa

Taken a 'Flight of Angels' heli flip over Victoria Falls

Lived in a cave in Cappadochia

I bring to the table the sum of all my travels across the globe and experience in the Travel Industry and various forms of Freelance Writing and Content Writing. Writing and travel combined are my two greatest passions outside of my family. I hold professional qualifications in both writing and travel, so coupled with my extensive experience, I would be looking for a salary of GBP .00 p/annum (negotiable with travel perks).

I am re-locating to London at the end of November 2015 and will be available to start anytime from 01 January 2015.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to meeting with you to discuss my application further. I am available for a Skype call initially.

Yours sincerely,

Tracy Eccles
