Dear Hiring Manager:
I am a recent graduate with a Master’s degree in English literature and two years of professional proofreading and editing experience. Throughout my graduate program, I worked as a teaching assistant and was responsible for proofreading, and editing technical reports based on academic standards. Since September 2014, I have worked as a legal assistant for several projects at a private law firm. In this role, my tasks include proofreading, and editing legal documents such as memoranda. In addition to requiring a mastery of written English, these professional roles also require the ability to successfully balance a heavy workload.
I am the ideal candidate to proofread your press release. As a recent graduate, I am efficient, yet affordable, and ask for $25 for the project. Nonetheless, I am a self-motivated professional, and I always set a high standard for the projects I undertake and ensure that I produce quality work that serves the client’s needs. In addition, I am skilled in research and have knowledge of copyright law. I am also highly adaptable, a skill I displayed in my editing of both technical and legal documents, and am confident that I can assist you in producing a high-quality and audience-appropriate article that works within your desired guidelines.
I would appreciate the opportunity to set up an interview to discuss the project in more detail.
Sincerely,
Giang Nguyen
