Job Cover Letter

Mr. Oliver,

My name is Brian Ward, and I want to become the new blogger for the Cruise with Bruce radio program.  I enjoy challenges and engaging with people and with this job I will expanded the number of followers for your radio series while pursuing my interests in writing and foreign affairs.

 I am a sophomore and Journalism major at the University of New Hampshire. My first year at the University of New Hampshire, I was accepted into the university’s Honors Program after my first semester; ending my freshman year with 3.83 overall GPA and a 4.0 for my second semester.

I started writing when I was thirteen, starting with poetry and moving into journalism and creative nonfiction in college.  I have received high grades in all my college English classes, and have gotten a lot of positive feedback regarding my research and creative nonfiction pieces. I have continuously received praise for my work in poetry, with some of my pieces read as part of Memorial Day events at my and neighboring towns.

I was a Boy Scout for eight years, working as a Patrol Leader and Senior Patrol Leader, spent five years earning my black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and am currently fencing saber on the UNH Fencing Team. These experiences have taught me how to talk and interact with other people, follow my responsibilities with discipline and diligence, and take the lead in situations where it might be easier to step back.

This job is a great opportunity for me to learn and get into the broadcasting and journalism fields and work toward becoming a travel writer. If hired I will work diligently to make sure as many people as possible will be following your radio program when it airs, and even more than that will be listening by the time the program finishes.

Thank you for your time and consideration

Brian Ward
