I wish to apply for the position of deputy editor advertised in dated 19 June, 2000.
I have had considerable editorial experience and am familiar with proofreading, rewriting, and productions, as well as the more creative aspects of this type of work. I should like to summarize briefly my experience:
1997-2000
For three years I was employed as senior editor on an XYZ weekly magazine having a circulation of about 80,000. Here I did a great deal of original writing, wrote the headlines, and worked directly with the printer in setting up the paper.
1997-1993
I also worked as assistant editor on a monthly newsletter in XXX, a voluntary organization, where my tasks were similar to those described above, but also included a great deal of interviewing and personal contact with people from all walks of life.
I was graduated from CDE University in 1993 with honors, after three years of attendance in the evening session, while working full-time during the day. I majored in Commmunciation and am continuing my studies in this field at present at ABC University, where I expect to receive my master's degree next summer.
I shall be able to call for an interview at your convenience, and shall be able to supply any necessary or examples of my previous work.
Yours truly
