Dear …………,
I would like to formally apply for the Media Researcher position you advertised today on the Dayjob.com website.
I have an eye for detail and a sharp instinct for a strong narrative or story.
Your job advert specifically states that candidates should be results oriented, performance driven and prepared to go the extra mile to find the best material. I can do this and also have a good understanding of the latest research methodologies as well as extensive knowledge of copyright law and other regulations related to the media world. In short with my experience utilizing a variety of research databases such as Lexis, Factiva, Capital IQ, etc, I am exactly the sort of person that you are looking for.
With me you will get a proven operator who has managed and maintained media research databases. That’s not all, I also have experience of working across many genres of television production, including news, sport, current affairs, documentaries factual programs and light entertainment.
In my current role I help to plan, arrange and execute the production of programs and other output in its various forms. At work I find stories, check information, brief scriptwriters on topics, source interviewees and conduct initial interviews. With my compatriots I have a reputation for keeping accurate records of everything I do, for example, interview scripts and copyright details. You can rely on me to gain clearance for usage of content by paying for copyright licences and ensuring they give credit to the owner. With colleagues I have a reputation for identifying gaps in research areas and coming up with ways to fill these.
My experiences to date have left me with the ability to accurately discern what the programme needs by liaising with writers, presenters, designers, directors, and producers. Through my career I have been employed by broadcasters and worked on a freelance basis. I have worked for large media companies and research firms on projects for newspapers, magazines, radio, TV and the web.
On a personal level I have the social and networking skills needed to cultivate industry contacts.
Furthermore, I have the excellent written communication, interpersonal and organizational skills needed to present research findings to diverse audiences.
At this stage of my career, I want to join a reputable organisation like yours where I will get to work alongside industry experts on exciting projects. If you find me to be a suitable person for your position then do not hesitate to contact me by phone, letter or email.
Yours sincerely,
