I am writing to apply for the post as I believe my technical experience and the quality of my work make me the perfect fit for the role. I have written on a broad range of subjects – both from a content fulfilment and marketing perspective – for companies ranging from one-man-bands to national and international operations. This has involved client acquisition but also the reestablishment and nurturing of existing users. These companies have included Google, Nordcloud (an IBM subsidiary) and CybSafe (a US-based cybersecurity company), to name three of many. If you would like to speak to any of them about me or my work, do please just ask – I am very happy to facilitate that. Having worked predominantly in data-driven markets (both B2B and B2C) for more than nine years, turning techy, jargon-ridden convoluted text into copy that’s not only comprehensible, but is compelling enough that you want to get to the end of it, has become something of an unintentional niche. I was a journalist for ten years (B2C and B2B) and as such am very comfortable with a tight deadline and a heavy workload. Beyond that, I have been a successful freelance copywriter for the past nine years, which is a job I absolutely love. I have attached my CV for your reference, and can also provide a link to examples of my work. It'd be great to elaborate on this if you thought I might be a good fit for the role, so if you have any further questions please don’t hesitate to be in touch. Thank you for your consideration and I very much look forward to hearing from you with your thoughts. Best wishes Alice
