Dear Sir/Madam
As a recent Journalism and Communications and Media graduate with a strong desire to work in television production, and a good knowledge of sport and its media representation, I believe I am a good candidate join ZBC.
You will see from my enclosed resume that I have gained a wide variety of both transferable and specific skills, which relate to working in media:
My work experience placement as a news reporter at MoNews at Monash South Africa gave me invaluable insight into the television process; with hands on experience of location shooting, studio filming, office work and general Runner duties. My time at MoNews required me to work with a lot of people of different background. Clear, concise and often very sensitive communicational skills were required.
My enjoyment and critical interest in the media (television, film, journalism, music, radio and new media) increased markedly throughout my degree, and has continued to grow since then.
During University I expanded my knowledge and confidence of Microsoft programs such as Internet Explorer, Word, Access, PowerPoint and Outlook Express. I actively enjoy researching on the Internet, and have a basic understanding of HTML and Visual Basic.
My degree has proven my ability to express critical opinions within a sustained argument. A high level of research and analytical reading was essential to reach this standard. The experiences of writing articles/reviews, short film scripts and adapting a play have increased my confidence in these skills.
I am available to start work immediately and I very much look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
Yours sincerely
