Short Autobiography - My career
I would not be where I am today without the help of United's Video Production Supervisor, Lee. During the fall semester of my sophomore year at Penn State I applied for the Spring 2009 Video Production Internship with United. I had no prior internships and my first production course was not till my junior year. I knew it was a long shot, but I applied anyway. After applying for the position I sent Lee several emails stating how much I wanted the internship. Lee eventually offered me the position, he said I showed the most interest out of all the applicants. I moved that semester and took online courses so I wouldn't fall behind. I gained invaluable experience at United and it jump started my career in video production. Following this internship I interned for Penn State Athletics, 2 Soccer teams, and 2 Sports T.V. Production companies. All of these internships eventually paid off. A few months after graduating Penn State in May 2011 I was offered my dream job. Last November I was promoted into the Content Edit Department(Video Editing) and I am enjoying every second!

My one critique of your posts so far? Watch punctuation and capitalization! Your writing is otherwise fantastic. Bringing that personal experience to the reader is really helpful in gaining their trust. Also, your passion really shows through in the way you write and that's an excellent thing. I don't know much about Penn State football other than the big scandal from a few years ago, so hopefully you'll help me see the bright side of their football team this summer! I look forward to reading more and learning a little more about college football. Maybe then I can impress my brother a little more(he plays college football in South Dakota)!
