Dear Recruiter,
I have been fortunate enough at my young age to learn from some of the most creative individuals in my field from my previous internships at Independent Journal Review in Washington D.C., as well as LifeZette in Georgetown, D.C. Even though these were internships, the experience gained from each allowed me to hone in my skills of storytelling and marketing through videography, editing, writing and much more. While working at these places I absorbed as much as I could about politics and how to market our daily videos to our millions of followers. This allowed me to use the knowledge I gained to handle an entire contracting businesses media content and marketing. While I managed the contracting business, I am also the Director of Media for a new clothing company that is set to launch in April. These responsibilities include designing an E-commerce website and inventory logistics, as well as handling all design, logos and media on the site.
For about a year, using social marketing, drones and photography, an original website and designs for work vehicles, decals/flyers and magnets, I brought in nearly $40,000 worth of new jobs. While it is not the biggest contracting company, this amount of money benefits the business substantially. All things considered, I believe my passion for new media would benefit your company because of my constant creative drive and also a large array of skills. My goal is to be a more skillful version of a jack of all trades.
Kinds Regards, Zack Deering
