Cover Letter for Journalism
Sample Resume Cover Letter
Date
Mr. John Smith,
Human Resources Manager
The Bergen Gazette
257, Park Avenue South,
New York, NY 12345-6789.
Dear Mr. Smith,
I am currently a student at Northeastern University entering my junior year as a journalism major concentrating in TV/Radio. Northeastern University offers the cooperative plan of education, which allows students to incorporate work experience with academic studies.
Through this program, I will be available for full-time employment from June 16, 1997 to January 2, 1998. If you plan to hire additional personnel to help at your station, I would greatly appreciate being considered.
As you can see from the enclosed resume, I have always had an interest in broadcasting, and have experience working in a TV environment as an intern at New England Cable News. At NECN, I wrote stories for newscasts, worked the Teleprompter, and assisted the producer. I now look forward to the possibility of working at WVXZ and developing expertise in the field I intend to pursue upon graduation.
During the week of May 5, 1997, I will call to arrange an interview. In the meantime, should you have any questions, you can reach me at (617) 555-1331. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Richard Anderson
