Graduate Corporate Affairs Advisor position
Dear Ms Box
I wish to apply for the Graduate Corporate Affairs Advisor position at Media Magic as advertised on Monash
University’s Career Gateway. I am currently in my final year of a Bachelor of Arts (majoring in Politics and
Communications). In support of my application I have attached a copy of my resume and details of three referees as requested.
Media Magic is of particular interest to me, as I am aware from my research that the organisation is the number one creative media group in Victoria, and values its reputation for being able to working creatively as a team to solve clients’ business problems. This philosophy fosters trust and long term client relationships and would enable me to apply the communication, teamwork and problem solving skills I have developed through both my studies and employment experience.
I have developed strong writing and editorial skills throughout my studies and during my work as a volunteer fundraiser for the Starlight Foundation. Furthermore, during my three-month full-time internship with Fantastic Public Relations and as the website content manager for Monash University Creative Arts Society, I have written and produced highquality and effective promotional material including fliers, posters, press releases and conference brochures. I have also written copy for websites and newsletters. My strong attention to detail and excellent communication skills have been demonstrated not only in these documents, but also in my outstanding academic results at University where I have maintained a distinction average throughout my degree.
During my internship, I obtained excellent practical experience in general public relations practice. I liaised with the media regarding a number of media releases, and successfully fielded enquiries and developed and maintained effective business relationships with a diverse range of cliental. Furthermore, through my collaborative work with management and staff, I have developed my skills in planning, goal setting and staff training and support.
As a volunteer fundraiser with the Starlight Foundation, I have presented community education programs to raise awareness of the Starlight Foundation, and have been an active participant in fundraising activities such as sausage sizzles and selling merchandise at University and in my workplace. These activities have developed my skills in public speaking, organising and showing initiative in order to achieve outcomes.
Thank you for considering my application and I look forward to the opportunity to meet at interview. I can be contacted for more information on mobile 0412 000 000.
Yours sincerely
