Dear Mr. Johnson:
I discovered your need for a summer intern at WPUB Radio through my mother who is an avid
listener of your radio station and a teacher at Camden High School where WPUB covers many of
their athletic events. I am very interested in working at your station because of the experience it
will provide me with leading in to my future hope of being a sports broadcaster and journalist. I
hope to learn a lot about the sports reporting field and gain knowledge through helping in any
way possible.
So far I have had little experience in the broadcasting field, but hope to further my experience and
expand my knowledge through helping out around your station. I am currently a member of the
North Carolina State University volleyball team so I am very interested in sports and have a lot of
knowledge about different sports. For example, I know WPUB covers the Camden High School
baseball games and I have played softball before and have grown up a big fan of baseball. I also
use to attend Camden High School so I have connections with the coaches there. I also love
interacting with people and have great people skills. Being a Division I athlete I must be
disciplined; therefore, I would be very focused and have good work ethic when being asked to do
anything that might be required of me to do. Working at WPUB Radio would allow me to gain
the experience I would need in future endeavors with sports broadcasting and journalism and I
could learn a lot about the field that I do not already know.
I would be so appreciative to have this opportunity to intern at WPUB Radio and I hope you will
consider me for the summer intern position. Thank you so much for your time and consideration.
You may reach me via e-mail at mvspeaks@ncsu.edu or by telephone at (803)669-2190.
Sincerely,
Maggie Speaks
