Dear Mr Jackson
Thank you for the opportunity to apply for the position of Online Editor at
PoliticsRound.com as advertised on Seek on February 23.
I am an enthusiastic, focused and organised editor and writer specialising in online media.
I have worked on some of the most innovative independent media projects to come out of
Australia in the past few years, where I have researched, written and edited on topics
including Australian and international politics, the arts, new media and popular culture.
As the Editor of Talk Online, I manage a team of 36 reporters, editors, photographers and
designers from around the country on a political blog that has gained a strong national
readership. I have a strong background commissioning content from some of Australia's
leading writers, and preparing written and visual content to daily deadlines.
My writing is published regularly in top Australian publications and websites, including the
Courier Pigeon, The Pilberry Morning Herald, The bi-Monthly, Pen Club, Cleopatra,
Saturday Magazine, yourcall.com and others.
I have attached my resume and examples of my published work for your perusal. I look
forward to meeting with you to discuss this exciting opportunity further.
Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Jackson
I am submitting my resume as an application for a Journalist position at the Time
Mirror. As a trained journalist with over six years of extensive experience, I would like to
explore the opportunity of working with the best in the trade.
My enthusiasm, stamina, determination and perseverance makes me just the right
candidate for this position. I have a complete understanding of web and social medic
aspects of this job which is why my work is not limited to just paper. Moreover, I am able
to work in a deadline driven environment and I bank highly on my ability to create copy
based on events as they happen. My training and experience in this capacity has provided
me with the ability to strategically develop written documents and monitor and cover
multiple topics of interest which are sure to invoke interest. My own concentration on
lifestyle and human interest stories makes for engaging copy and I have been prided with
the Journalist of the Year award by the state two times in two years.
My work speaks for itself as I always make it a point to work diligently and honestly. I will
be in Reno for the next three weeks and will be available for interview during this time.
Please feel free to call me at (402) 444-4444 if you need any further information that I can
