Detail-Oriented, Creative Editor/Writer

Dear Hiring Manager:

I am writing to you to inquire about employment opportunities.  I know I can be an asset to your company as a dependable independent worker and collaborative team player.  My relevant professional experience as well as my exceptional attention to detail, articulate written and verbal communication, exceptional project management abilities, strength in research, creative problem-solving skills, and experience with different database managers make me the ideal choice for a

variety of positions.

In my previous positions with the insurance company Aetna as well as my current freelance position at Camp Dresser & McKee, I succeeded in a detail-oriented and time-sensitive environment.  In each of these positions, I applied my keen eye and professional communication skills.  As a Strategic Proposal Writer, I answered prospective client questionnaires and enforced the company’s editorial standards to ensure I put the company in the best light.  During our busy season, I adeptly balanced the responsibilities of both the Strategic Proposal Writer and Technical Assistant, managing substantial volume and short turnaround in an unpredictable environment with flexibility, speed, and accuracy by remaining proactive.  As a Proofreader, I reviewed and edited documents in multiple stages of production, from style sheets sent to our print vendor, to proofs, and finally the finished hard copy directories.  My co-workers consistently relied on my valued judgment, analytical approach, and computer savvy, to fix problems and produce a clear and accurate product. These strengths and my ability and eagerness to quickly learn new products and processes prepare me to make an immediate impact at your company.

I have always had a passion for words and been an ardent admirer and student of advertising and am looking to transition my relevant experience and skills into the publishing or advertising industry.  Several references can attest to my work ethic and accomplishments.  I would be honored at the opportunity to join your team.  I welcome the chance to speak with you soon, via the email address or phone number listed on my résumé, to further discuss your needs and my qualifications.  Thank
you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

 

Jill Cetel
