  • need job search advice, how does this sound for a cover letter: Dear x, Attached is my resume in consideration for your xx position. My experience includes writing and producing for a variety of news, entertainment, and documentary television, and I have a strong background finding and booking the perfect guests. I would love to be able to bring my skills and resourcefulness to a show like x. Please take a look and contact me at your convenience. Thanks so much, x (me)

    • seems ok to me. maybe personalize it with why you'd be great for this specific show, what you can bring that nobody else can or why you'd be such a good fit for the show.

    • sounds okay. can you break up the 'my experience' sentence ... it's too long.

      • did you have any big 'gets' that you were responsible for that brought numbers/recognition to previous shows?

    • way too generic, include a relevant anecdote about why their company appeals to you
