Photojournalist

Eddie Adams photo “Saigon Execution”? There was video of that, too, but no one remembers it. They
remember the photograph. A photojournalist wants to document a community. That’s what we’re looking
for. Please send a resume, cover letter and a link to your portfolio to [email protected].

To whom it may concern,
Given my experience and interest in this field, along with my track record, I believe I can be a
valuable addition to your team. I am writing in response to your advertisement for the open
Public Relation position.
On successfully obtaining a Post- Graduate Degree in Communications from GHI University, I
chose to pursue a job as a Public Relations Officer at ABC Company where I could make the
most use of my qualifications. I was part of a team that was in charge of scanning for public
opinion and devising appropriate communication strategies for the Company.
Five years later, I took up the position of PR Team lead at DEF, and have been working here up
to now. In my career spanning 12 years, I have helped work on over 100 public relations projects
that cover media releases, Corporate Social Responsibility campaigns, marketing
announcements, media analysis and social media campaigns.
Strong creativity skills and the ability to grasp customers’ needs and expectations have helped
me launch several successful campaigns, including the ones on the social medial channels. I have
also been a recipient of multiple awards during my tenure in Public Relations, the most important
being the “Employee of the Year” award.
Throughout my academic life, I had been an active participant in college events and this quality
of being pro- active, adaptable and self- motivated has continued to manifest in my work as well.
Being creative, a team-player and the ability to think on my feet has enabled me to successfully
execute my projects within deadlines and budget stipulations.
I have attached my resume for your perusal. Should you require any details and would like to
take this forward, do not hesitate to get in touch with me. I look forward to your response and an
opportunity to discuss my candidature further.
Sincerely,
Jane Smith
