Director Project
Resume:
Burns & McDonnell World Headquarters
Kansas City, MO 64114
To Whom It May Concern:
Embedded at the center of our nation's community, Burns & McDonnell
exemplifies strong roots and customer satisfaction, two qualities which I
can closely relate to. Growing up on a farm in Kansas I was taught that
with solid values and a lot of determination, one could achieve almost
certain success, but I also learned never to forget about your neighbor's
happiness along the way. For these reasons and not alone is why I am
applying for the Communications Coordinator position at your company.
Just as Burns & McDonnell has branched out to locations around the world, I
too have gained a vast amount of career experience by reaching beyond my
home borders. After graduating from Kansas State University with a degree
in journalism and a minor in environmental geography, I received an
invitation to join the CBSTV2 news team in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands.
In two years at this station, I excelled to one of the top general
assignment reporters, fill-in anchor and achieved the position of Acting
News Director. Responsible daily for gathering interviews, writing copy
and shooting video on a tight deadline, my organization and time management
skills became polished. I even had time to welcome added tasks, such as,
manning the teleprompter, operating studio cameras, technical directing and
learning what it takes to put together a great newscast: teamwork,
flexibility and critical decision making. As the Acting News Director, I
successfully managed two busy newsrooms, assigned stories, selected news
content, ordered graphics, covered press conferences, edited copy and
directed the evening news.
Additional skills in communications were obtained with my most previous
employer, Lambert Media Team. At this advertising and marketing firm I
wrote press releases for our Production Company, various clients and
Project Safe Neighborhoods, a non-profit non-violence committee. My daily
activities also included designing brochures, organizing submittals for
awards, assisting in production, maintaining client relations and research,
editing video, writing copy and scripts, providing story board concepts and
serving as key editor of web and commercial content. I also acted as on-
air talent for public service announcements and various promotions. Being
part of such multi-faceted teams overall has instilled a high level of
professionalism and expertise.
I have recently moved back home to Kansas and look forward to a possible
interview to further discuss how I would be a valuable asset to the Burns &
Mac family. Thank you for your attention.
Sincerely,
Gina Ninemire
