Dear__________________:

 

Communication links community & media relations researching & writing

 

In my career, I fulfill each of these aspects of public relations and communications with determination and ease. Now, I am focusing on transferring my skills out from in-front of the camera into a (INSERT TITLE OF ACTUAL TARGET POSITION) role. Instead of reporting on news and trends, I want to be part of the story as it develops.

 

One of my greatest strengths lies in my ability to research and disseminate information so that it is understandable to the target audience. My journalistic training has given me in-depth knowledge and experience with creating effective messages delivered in a wide variety of mediums, such as presentations, press-releases, websites, blogs, numerous social media outlets and so forth. I excel at building strong alliances and strategic business relationships to strengthen organizations identities within communities. I offer over three years of professional communications experience coupled with tactical, creative and strategic thinking and strong technical aptitude, including web skills. In addition, my expertise in journalism would allow me to effectively negotiate and manage media relations.

 

As an employee, you will find me to be a driven team player committed to supporting you in achieving your objectives through superior performance. I am confident that I could be a valuable asset to your firm, and look forward to interviewing with you in the near future.

 

Sincerely,

Nastassia Tamari
