To whom it may concern,
I am writing to express my interest in the Entry Level Marketing/Promotions
position with K2 Marketing. Please consider this letter and my attached résumé as an
application for the position.
I was most recently in the position of Copy Coordinator at Shaw Media. This role
allowed me to further enhance such skills as attention to detail, multi-tasking and
communication, to name a few. My previous role as Media Coordinator at Torstar Media
Group Television was pivotal in shaping me as a professional in the media industry. My
role as Media Coordinator was integral to the successful operation of all other
departments within the division. With minimal supervision, I was responsible for
completing a wide array of tasks that included, coordinating freelance professionals to
complete b-roll video for our HSN live shopping segments & interviewing & hiring
freelance editors. That dynamic position taught me the importance of prioritizing, client
relations, organization and time management. This allowed me to hone my skills in these
areas. In addition to these tools, my adaptability, dependability and drive make me an
excellent candidate for the Entry Level Marketing/Promotions position.
Having mastered my role at Shaw Media, I am looking to secure a challenging
new position that will allow me to utilize and further expand my skill set within the
industry.
I look forward to speaking with you further about my qualifications and would be
happy to meet with you in person for an interview at your convenience. Please contact me
at *********@*******.*** or at 289-***-****.
Best Regards,
Brittany Tufts
