Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to you to express my interest in your current job vacancy as a Lighting
Technician at Arley Hall and I believe I am fit for the role.
Firstly, I am experienced in operating lighting equipment as I have operated lights for both
school and college shows. For example, during “Priestley’s Got Talent” I operated the lights
and also during “Lysander’s Christmas Extravaganza”. This is a very important attribute as a
responsibility of a Lighting Technician. The lighting desks used at school and college was the
zero 88 jester. My workshops at LIPA and the Everyman Theatre in Liverpool have further
educated me in lighting.At these workshops I have used modern lighting equipment such as
Source 4 lights and the zero 88 orb XF lighting desk. Furthermore, I am experienced in CAD.
Computer aided design helps with role with making lighting plans of spaces. My knowledge
of CAD is very useful when rigging.I can read colour calls, cue sheets and 2D lighting plans
which I can use to rig lights in a theatre rig.
Also, I have a good understanding of rigging lights as I have a full understanding of the lights
themselves and how to rig them as I am fully trained on a tallescope. This is supported by
completing my Lighting Operations unit. Also I can maintain a light. For example, changing
bulbs on numerous lighting models. This is backed up by me completing my Stage
maintenance unit.
Furthermore, I am enthusiastic about the Production Arts industry as I am currently studying
production arts at Priestley College. I am also calm under pressure as I have taken part in
many roles in shows such as a Stage Hand to Lighting operator. This also shows that I have a
full understanding of the industry.
Finally, I am flexible in my role. For example I have knowledge on sound equipment’s such
as speakers and sound desks. Also I have knowledge on electrics. For example I know how to
change a plug and how to tie up cables. I also have worked in Front Of House and in events
management. For example, making programs for the school show, “UAW’s summer
showcase”.
I hope you take my application into consideration and hope to hear from you soon regarding
my application.
Yours sincerely
