Dear Fellow Classmates,
I am writing with regards to being part of your writing team as a writer. With my academic background, and experience in writing substantial and concise papers, I believe I can be a strong asset to your writing team and am looking forward to working with you.
I am in my last year of my Bachelors of Arts in Sociology which requires strong critical thinking and analytical thinking when it comes to writing papers. Throughout my degree I have had opportunities to challenge thoughts and ideologies through my papers and being able to clearly argue my point was a key skill I have gained through my studies. In Sociology, we look to study a broad range of topics from the economy, family, crime, etc. and put those topics under a lens to and look for characteristics from a societal point of view. This has given me the skills to closely analyze material and produce a clear and concise argument through my writing.
Beyond just my writing skills, I am a good team player and believe that strong teamwork requires that not only we work together but also get to know each other on a more personal and friendly level. I currently work as a supervisor for a before and after school program and teamwork and team cohesion is one of my main duties. I am confident that I could bring a friendly environment that allows everyone in the team to get to know each other better so that we can all find success in this course.
Thank you for your time and I am looking forward to hear from you so we can discuss further. Feel free to contact me at julian.hui11@gmail.com
Best Regards,
Julian Hui
