To the Director of International Operations: This letter is to show my interest in the position of Golf Correspondent with The Golf Channel. My education and career experiences in media communications, marketing, television production, and journalism align well with the qualifications your organization is seeking. While completing my Bachelor’s degree in Media Communications with Full Sail University, I have worked with Fox Business Network in Washington, DC as a Production Assistant, as well as with WHAG TV as a News Reporter/Anchor in Hagerstown, Maryland. These career experiences have given me the opportunity to: Cover a range of areas (e.g., sports, news, healthcare, business, education, lifestyle) as a full- time general assignment reporter and photographer Develop into a seasoned news writer and anchor with on-air experience Report live, breaking news; communicate clearly and effectively under pressure Develop relationships with reporters/editors in national and local media markets Become a self-starter by working with various local sources to develop stories for broadcasts Assist producers and reporters in developing live shots throughout DC on assignments including the White House press briefing, US Supreme Court decisions, International Monetary Fund, The National Press Club, and Capitol Hill In addition to my education and career experiences, this career opportunity is of great interest to me due to my passion for the game of golf. Due to 13+ years of playing golf, I also meet the requirements of having in-depth knowledge of golf vocabulary, vernacular, and current events. As a young golfer, I interviewed Tiger Woods and his father while he put on a demo for my golf team in association with the Tiger Woods Foundation. This packet of information contains my resume, which provides you with additional details about my career experiences and unique skills set. I have also included a DVD of my demo reel showcasing my on-air personality and abilities. I am certain I would make a valuable addition to your organization and would like to further discuss the possibility of employment with The Golf Channel.
