To whom it may concern,
I am writing to apply for the position I saw advertised on Indeed. I am currently working as a
freelance production assistant and coordinator. I have been freelancing since October 2011 and
working full time since February 2013.
I also recently graduated from Wilmington University in May 2014 with a B.S. in Studio
Production - Digital Filmmaking. While enrolled at the University I developed skills in writing
for broadcast media, journalism, on and off camera reporting, videography, digital photography,
and video/audio editing.
Notable professional and academic achievements in the field include, an open contract with Film
Brothers Productions, interning on Narrowback Films’ documentary “Dancing at the Crossroads:
The Irish Catskills”, and serving as co producer/ co anchor on “The Wildcat Minute”,
Wilmington University’s broadcast news show.
My experiences with television and film sets, as well as multimedia journalism, have prepared
me for a career in the television industry. I am looking for a position in a broadcast media outlet
that would allow me to grow and develop my career along with the company.
I hope that my skills and experience meet your job requirements and would be grateful for the
opportunity to meet with you for an interview session. If you require any more information about
me not contained in my resume, please do not hesitate to contact me at 410-***-**** or
