Reporter/Writer

To whom this may concern,

I recently came across an advertised position seeking a reporter/writer for your company and I am interested in learning more about this opportunity and expressing interest in this position with your team.

I am a versatile writer who enjoys many different aspects of the writing industry. I have worked on and with numerous talented and diverse writers and literary experts over the course of the last several years.

I was recently recruited by Hollywood Weekly Magazine to serve as a Film Critic and freelance writer.

I have experience in breaking news and journalism.

I am actually in the middle of writing several short-stories for a publisher working with numerous New York Times bestsellers.

I’ve also recently (March 2021) been picked up to appear in Dark Elements as a contributing poet and was honored to appear alongside extremely talented literary experts as I was in Whimsical poets inaugural issue January 2021.

I also have just recently performed another review for the American Psychological Association on an 80+ page paper of in-depth psychological research and studies— currently awaiting the editors decision.

I did not include all job history or writing but did pull some pieces to include to give you a sample of some of the work I’ve previously done. (Though mind you— these below are pre-published and prior to Wordpress or website tools to alter/highlight and use in the programs.)

I also possess an exceptional background in healthcare, nursing and law enforcement— including CEO certification and experience in over-sight and managing the day to day operations of a large facility. This included HR duties and recruitment, retaining and overseeing employees.

I also have been credited as an effective leader and recognized for my superior abilities in management and highly intricate and strategic initiatives that have proven highly effective in correcting and gaining compliance with regulations.

I do have letters of reference available upon request.

I would like to take the time to express my appreciation and gratitude for your consideration of my credentials and experience as a candidate with your company for this position,

We are going to cover an easy process and simple way to add more than one filter to your Snaps before sending them to anyone, and the simple key to it is all about knowing where to swipe.

Snapchat

Snapchat is an American made multimedia messaging app developed by Snap Inc., which was originally Snapchat Inc. One of the primary features of Snapchat is that pictures and messages are usually only available for a short time before they become inaccessible to their recipients.

Authors

The original authors of Snapchat are the following: Evan Spiegel, Bobby Murphy and Reggie Brown all of which are former students of Stanford University.

Release date

It was originally released about 9 years ago in September 2011. It’s operating system is the following: Android and IOS.

Stories

The app itself has evolved over time from originally focusing its attention on person to person photo sharing to now featuring users’ “stories” which consist of 24 hours of chronological content, along with “Discover,” which allows different brands to display certain add supported short-form content.

“My eyes only” features

It also allows users to maintain photos in the “my eyes only” which allows them to keep them protected by a password. Reports also suggest that it has incorporated limited usage of end-to-end encryption, with future plans to broaden its use.

The apps types include the following:

- Photo sharing

- Instant messaging

- Video chat

- Multimedia

Relaunched

The app was also relaunched as Snapchat in September 2011.

As the team had focused on usability and other technical aspects, rather than branding efforts.

One exception was the decision to keep a mascot designed by Brown, "Ghostface Chillah," who was named after Ghostface Killah of the hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan.

Importantly, at this time you may also import photos from the gallery.

Once you have successfully added a snap, swipe for the filters to apply.

This will apply the first filter on your snap. It can be anything – temperature, clock or even location.

Now hold a finger on the snap to hold the filter that you have just applied.

Now, using a different finger to swipe again for the different filters.

This will apply a second filter over the first one.

Repeat again for the third filter if you want a third filter to be applied.

Introduction:

Best Shien alternative websites and apps. In this article I’m going to cover information on the company Shein as well as their philosophy and mission statement. I’m also going to note it’s recent ban and provide a list of fashion alternatives with reviews and recommendations.

Shein

According to their site, Shein is an international B2C fast fashion e-commerce platform. The brand was founded October 2008 and since then it has upheld the philosophy, “everyone can enjoy the beauty of fashion.”

The company mainly focuses on women’s wear, but it also offers men’s apparel, children’s clothes, accessories, shoes, bags and other fashion items.

Their mission is that they pride themselves on offering on-trend styles catering to both young women and teens, that won’t break the bank.

According to an article written by Inventiva which had the following to say about Shein, “Shein was an amazing app that had highly discounted apparel that came straight out of the vogue’s cover magazines.”

Recent Ban

Shein is among the 59 companies banned Chinese apps. As of Monday June 29, 220 SHEIN.com has been banned by the government of India. The decision is said to of been taken as a means to avoid any privacy invasions and also to secure the Indian Cyberspace.

Best Shein Fashion Alternatives websites

Fashion alternatives to Shein can include some of the following which are receiving many high reviews and recommendations:

- Amazon

- Romwe

- Zaful

- Dresslily

- Berrylook

- Justfashionnow

- Rosegal

- Boohoo

- Prettylittlething

- Fairyseason

Amazon

According to an article written by Have Clothes will travel which states the following:

“So Amazon actually carries A LOT of Shein clothing, and some of the other clothing brands that Shein carries, such as. (Not all of the clothing carried on Shein’s website is part of the “Shein” label.”

Some reviews of Amazon clothing have stated, “I received this floral dress and saw the pattern was totally different. However, the fit was on point. The medium would fit a size 6-8 US best. I love how lightweight and flowy the dress was. The tie sleeves were my favorite detail.

This was a WIN!” As found amongst some reviews found on Schimiggy Reviews.

Romwe

According to an article published by Stack Tunnel we find the following statement about Romwe as an alternative to Shein.

“Looking at the way Romwe operates and the quality of products it has in store, no one can argue that it is one of the best Shein alternatives available. Well, you can say it’s because Romwe also started in 2008, the same year that Shein began, but that’s not the case.”

Some reviews can be found on trustpilot.com as Ellie writes, “I’d recommend

First time ordering from here was great! My package of 19 items worth £80 came in 15 days which is what you’d expect considering it’s coming from China, plus the coronavirus delays. Clothes quality was surprisingly good! Just make sure to measure yourself for every item and read the reviews. I have two more packages on the way but both have been stuck on a stage for a week, give or take a day. :( They were ordered on July 10th and July 12th and are expected to get here by August 2nd. Hopefully I won’t be disappointed by these orders

Great retailer!” As he continues by saying, “I purchased a dress for my wife that was one size too small. I contacted support and had a response within a few hours stating that I could get a new dress in the correct size for no cost and I could keep the first one as well.

I was always worried that I'll get something that looks nothing like the product online, but this coat exceeds my expectations. I got it in medium and it fits well. The material doesn't look or feel cheap, the colors are vibrant.”

Though they hold a mixture of reviews including one written by Terry Meloney who states, “Never again! Ordered two tops from berry look and nothing like what you see on the pictures, i have paid well over the odds for what is a plain white t shirt as soon as I tried it on the heart transfer came off, the other garment was a blouse which looked lovely and when it’s arrived it again is nothing like the picture very old fashioned and I would never wear.”

“I’ve had really good luck with Shein, personally! But, I’m also a huge fan of amazon for clothing. Prices are all over, but I’ve always had great luck with the quality!”

nomm01 writes:

“Try Boohoo. They're a fast-fashion clothing webstore like Forever21. They often do 40% or 50% off sitewide. Shipping is fast considering theyre based in Europe (I'm in California). Quality is similar to Forever21. I actually prefer shopping on Boohoo than Forever21.”

“I really really like Target's new clothing lines: A New Day and Universal Thread. Ive own a few pieces and the quality is extremely nice and comfy. Price is reasonable. They often have Cartwheel and sales that you can check out. In fact, this week at Target, you can score A New Day tees and tanks for $5 each & $12 Shorts. Don't forget to check the clearance section. I scored a pink dress pant for $7.48 (70% off) yesterday.”

In conclusion
