To Whom It May Concern:
I am a 2011 graduate of the
Pennsylvania State University with a Bachelors degree in Telecommunications, currently
taking classes in Quinnipiac University’s Online Interactive Media Masters Program.
I have worked in sports video production
for over five years in PA, DC, Chicago, and Connecticut, supporting live sports broadcasting for major sports television
networks. I have worked alongside and
assisted top-level supervisors and producers with video editing, audio assisting,
content editing for websites, live interviews, filming, and pre and post
production support.
I currently work as a
Content Editor for a Sports Production Company editing highlights,
features, and montages for a large scale of sports shows. I also mentor and train new employees. In
addition to video editing, I also serve as an audio assist, assisting the Audio
Operator with setting up mics and IFBS.
Previous to working as a Content Editor,
while in college at Penn State, I interned with the Penn State Athletic
Department as a Broadcast Operations Assistant, shooting ENG at games, during
post game interviews, running cameras, and replay for the Jumbo Tron Production
at Beaver Stadium and the Bryce Jordan Center. I also interned for the local
PBS affiliate, editing the weekly Penn State Woman’s Basketball show, Courtside
with Coquese. During my last semester at Penn State I was selected to
intern for a Sports Production Company's Content Edit Department, editing a variety of sports shows,
maintaining an efficient workflow, and developing a solid understanding of the
Content Edit Department’s standard operating procedures.
Outside of State College, I held
internships in DC and Chicago. In DC I interned with a professional soccer team, under the direction of the Video Production
Supervisor, shooting ENG from the sidelines at games and in the locker-room for
post game interviews and editing the content for the team website. I was also
given the chance to intern with the show Pardon The Interruption,
contributing daily story ideas for the show, assisting the editors in
pre-production, and observing the director and technical director in the
control room during the show. In Chicago I interned with another soccer team as a Technical Video Intern. I was responsible for shooting and editing the Referee
Week in Review as well as shooting and editing for Studio 90.
My current position, the
several internships I have held, and both my undergraduate education at Penn
State and my masters degree with Quinnipiac have enabled me to gain invaluable
experience that I feel would be a great asset to your company.
Thank you for your time and I
look forward to hearing from you.
I like how well organized this is. It has a clear beginning, middle, and end but manages to paint one clear picture. Great job :)

This is well done. It is very detailed and well organized. It makes me want to see what your resume looks like - and that's exactly the kind of attitude you want prospective employers to have when reading the cover letter. Great job!
