Dear Ms Brown

Re: Associate Producer position

I wish to apply for the position of Associate Producer advertised recently on the MyTube website.

I am passionate about digital media and have geared my tertiary education, internships and recent work experience towards a career in this exciting and rapidly growing industry. I completed a Bachelor of Multimedia at the University of Jonestown in 2007 and have since been working as a part-time production assistant at the web and content development company Big Bang Media.

My key responsibilities include formatting and proofreading website content before publication, creating and maintaining publishing schedules, and sourcing and cropping photos and other graphical content. I also update text and images on client websites using a proprietary content management system (CMS).

In addition, I have completed two internships with organisations at the forefront of digital media – the Jonestown Courier and Digital Solutions. Each full-time work placement lasted four weeks, giving me the opportunity to not only develop skills in a range of areas, including proofreading, HTML coding and video editing, but also to learn first-hand the importance of teamwork in a fast-paced environment.

Furthermore, I have taught myself Dreamweaver 8 in order to build a website to showcase my video work and the articles I have written for the online magazine DigiFuture (www.digifuture.com).

I am hard working, flexible and thrive in a team environment and believe my skills would greatly benefit a dynamic and innovative company like MyTube.

My resume is attached and I look forward to discussing this position at an interview.

Yours sincerely
