Dear Ms. Santers,

I’m extremely interested in the editorial assistant position with Pearson at Bala-Cynwyd, PA. I believe I could be a great fit with your team. My education in online journalism and creative writing will allow me to make a meaningful contribution to the Pearson VUE content development department.

What I bring to the table as a prospective editorial assistant includes:
• Experience writing in different modes (academic writing, journalistic writing, and writing for public relations)
• Experience using AP style and MLA style
• Experience with publishing web content
• Strong interpersonal skills and time management skills

Through my online journalism classes and writing for Central Michigan Life, Central Michigan University’s student-run newspaper, I have learned how to write for print and the web in compelling ways. As a public relations intern for Special Olympics Michigan, I learned how to create content that follows the standards of a well-known brand and organization. I am always open to learning new skills and looking at things from a fresh perspective.

I can be reached at any time via email at erwin1cc@cmich.edu, or via cell phone at 989-415-6825.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to speaking with you about this opportunity!

Sincerely,

Cecilia Erwin
