To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Rory Cole and I write in application to your advertised Good Writers, Content managers
& Testers position.
I am currently working as a freelance Copywriter and Content & Social Media Manager for the online
publishing company, Ripefruit Publishing (copywriting, researching, developing, reviewing, editing
and publishing content for numerous websites and managing their online social media presence).
I am a highly prolific writer with editing and proofreading experience and a Diploma of Professional
Writing and Editing, in which I received distinctions and credits in the majority of units; Writer and
Research, Computer Skills for Writers and Editors; Editing, Role of the Editor; Non-Fiction; Short
Story Writing; Screenwriting; and Novel Writing. I was the recipient of the Box Hill TAFE
Encouragement Award for Non-Fiction Writing, inclusive of honorary membership to the Australian
Fellowship of Writers.
I have completed units in a Bachelor of Professional Communication at RMIT and in a Bachelor of
Internet Communications at Curtin University, which I deferred to commence employment with
Ripefruit Publishing and self-teach and prepare to self-publish. I am currently undertaking a Bachelor
of Arts (Creative and Professional Writing) for personal development and to keep abreast of the
industry.
I am very fluent in both verbal and written English and possess excellent web research and content
skills. In all positions held thus far, great attention to and a keen eye for detail have been essential,
along with the ability to write creative and engaging content, meet client deadlines and to work well
both autonomously and within a team.
Please find attached my CV and the contact details of four referees. Should you choose to employ my
services, I am sure I will prove a valuable asset to your existing team.
Thank you in advance for your consideration. I look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
Rory Cole
