Dear Media Mill,
I am applying for the position advertised as I feel the opportunity is simply too good to miss. Having been studying Level 3 Creative Media for the last year, my interest in the industry has certainly been piqued.
I have learnt many valuable and relevant skills which I am keen to apply to professional situations and believe that the education I have received will benefit me greatly in this position.
Alongside my education within this field, I have also had paid work consistently for the past six years which has given me an arsenal of other life skills, such as excellent communication and team leadership.
I hope you will consider me for this position, as I am eager to begin my career in the media industry.
John Rowbotham
