Dear fellow students,<\/p>\n
Please consider me for the position of professional writing team member. I am ideally suited for this position, as advertised on the English 301 Lesson 1.2 on September 12th<\/sup>. I gained technical writing skills through a summer internship with the Bermudian government which enabled me to be a strong contender in joining your team.<\/p>\n My professional goals to become an urban planner led me to an internship with the Government of Bermuda last summer. I elevated my ability to write professionally through creating a report which is soon to be published for public use. I learned that my skills lie in proofreading texts, but that I could work on adjusting my writing\u2019s tone to better suit the audience. While I could be better organized in projects I take on, I collaborate well with others. Teamwork skills were necessary in collecting the data for my report.<\/p>\n Through my experience applying for jobs through the Arts Co-op Program, I developed a learning philosophy. When I first began applying for jobs, it was tempting at times to leave the application to the last minute. By setting deadlines for myself before the application was due, I learned to manage my time effectively and produce a high-quality application. I have since successfully applied this philosophy to my studies. I will use this strategy in our writing team to ensure we maintain within the scope of our assignments and within our time budget.<\/p>\n Working with students in Barcelona, Spain in my most recent co-op job further enhanced my ability to think creatively. This will be a particular asset to our writing team, especially in relation to our Web Folio project. I taught students between the ages of three and twelve at Escola Sant Gregori, the school I worked at in Spain. I learned to adjust my writing tone in my lesson plans to fit each year group\u2019s level. Using creative strategies such as creating board games with grammar and vocabulary, I was able to inspire my students to pursue English further.<\/p>\n I believe my professional writing experience, teaching philosophy and ability to write creatively make me an excellent candidate for your writing team. If you feel I would be a useful contribution to your team, please do not hesitate to contact me by phone at 604-838-3020 or by e-mail at gillespiemeredith@live.com.<\/p>\n Sincerely,<\/p>\n Meredith Gillespie<\/p>\n Enclosed: Application Letter<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 1050 Maple Street Vancouver, BC V6L1L5 September 12, 2017 Dear fellow students, Please consider me for the position of professional writing team member.
