RE: Job Opportunity
Dear Human Resources,
As an undergraduate and Sigma Tau honors student pursuing a degree in English literature, I published over fifteen articles. I multi-tasked as a content editor and writer for Tempo magazine proofreading, copy editing, copy writing, teaching, and managing student authors for the university magazine. During my senior year internship, I was a company and remote editorial and controller intern at Foundry Literary + Media. I proofread for authors and collaborated with a co-owner maintaining and editing an updated version of their company website.
I worked as an editorial assistant at Stereophile music magazine through The Enthusiast Network. I used problem solving techniques, improved research skills, and fact checked among other administrative tasks such as invoices, filing, and mailing. I used Microsoft Office including Outlook, Excel, and Word. I can be counted on to submit highly organized projects in on time.
Best Regards,
Barbara Hollingshead -
