To Whom It May Concern;
Please accept this letter and attached resume as my application. I believe that I have the skills, background and work experience you seek. I am always willing to step up and take more responsibility, especially in pressing times and high-pressure situations. I am very adaptable, taking on a range of tasks in stride and looking for guidance to ensure the best possible product. My design work has been featured in U Sports’ national championships, webcast on CBC Sports, and will continue to be highlighted on U Sports’ social media channels. This was a unique opportunity for me, as it allowed me to make a greater impact on the digital presence of U Sports as an organization moving forward. These tasks included:
- The production of social media graphic templates for a yet-to-be-announced marketing campaign
- Servicing the design needs of partners for digital ad spaces
- Producing sample hype videos
- Outlining a social media campaign for international U SPORTS programs
- Creation of produced social content out of the U SPORTS championships. I have also volunteered for the RAMS Live Broadcast crew throughout my 3 years at Ryerson and have accumulated over 80 hours so far. In this time, working on the live broadcasts, I gained experience working with an ambitious team of young professionals, all trying to learn while doing the best job. Some of the positions I volunteered for include camera, DDR and replay. I am looking forward to learning the ins and outs of all the lead and crew positions on the team. In my previous work experience in various roles in administration and operations I have earned invaluable experience that I can take and apply to any new undertaking. Most importantly, I gained the skills necessary to work with and oversee large groups of people. I also learned how to navigate on a team that spread across the entirety of the GTA and facilitate effective communication while encouraging other employees to achieve the goals of the organization.
I am very eager to work with you and your team. I would appreciate an opportunity to meet with you to discuss the contributions I can make. I may be reached at 647-***-****, or by email at adglo0@r.postjobfree.com. Sincerely,
Zhad Zlatkov
