Here are the “Top ** Reasons You Should Interview Me”:

10. I thrive on constructive criticism - I invite you to critique this list if you’d like! 9. I’m looking to transition from my most recent jobs to a career as a Copywriter/Content Writer to focus on my biggest strength - writing.

8. I earned my two Bachelor of Arts degrees in four years. My Communications degree focuses on Public Relations, and my English degree focuses on Professional & Media Writing. 7. I enjoy creative writing ever since I took an inspiring course at East Stroudsburg University. You can see samples of my writing and design work here: http://kylemedernach.wix.com/kmed. 6. I lived in Scotland and earned my Masters of Science in Creative Advertising from Edinburgh Napier University.

(Although, I challenge that advertising is far from an exact science). 5. This course challenged me to work with classmates from different cultures on creative briefs - from brainstorming to writing to designing to editing to pitching to (sometimes) going back to the drawing board! 4. I’ve taken on several internships, including a Copywriter position with RAPP Advertising Agency in Edinburgh, UK where I gained real-world agency experience and mentoring. 3. I’m looking for rewarding, challenging work that will help me improve in my craft while adding an enthusiastic, outgoing personality to the creative team.

2. I can provide a hard-working, detail-oriented Copywriter/Content Writer who is willing to grow with the company and work with different departments to achieve success. 1. Overcoming challenges is not new to me. From living in Scotland to learning to speak Portuguese to living in Brazil to helping Sodexo retain a national client, I can easily adapt to new situations and high-pressure projects. I hope you’ll consider meeting with me to discuss how I can add value to your company. Thank you

Sincerely,

Kyle Medernach
