To the Hiring Manager,

As a Digital Content Writer seeking for professional growth, I am pleased to find your job posting online. Starting afresh, I am seeking for more stimulating work experiences, as well as to further my ideas and professional perspective.

One of my feats in my profession is having a featured article with Entrepreneur Philippines, aside from my daily articles written and published for ecomparemo.com. Working with the analytical minds of ecomparemo.com has also furthered my skills on creating SEO-friendly content and boosting a robust number of organic site traffic.

Over the years, I’ve been drawn to work with startup companies. Being on board with budding visionaries has developed my versatility to accomplish multiple tasks beyond my job description such as events management. Doing so has also immersed me to teams of driven people with fresh, creative juices which boosted my motivation to work and to further enhance my knowledge.

I have been handling a wide array of content types since 2012. I have written and edited information articles, theses, research papers, dissertations, company blogs, product descriptions, news tidbits – with eclectic topics varying from money and finance, health and medicine, current events, lifestyle and entertainment, home improvement, and technology.

I would like to welcome the opportunity to discuss your company objectives and how my skills can translate to fulfill your future projects.

Best regards,

Diana Balbalosa
