Letter to galomagazine.com

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing to inquire about the opening for the technology section of galomagazine.com.  Ever since I was a child I have had an interest and passion for pop-culture, technology, and writing, and I believe I would be a wonderful addition to the galomagazine.com team.

           

Before I even began my journalism career at the University of New Hampshire, I would always research about new advancements in technology and look into the new must-have gadgets for the year.  Anything I didn’t know about the technology world I always wanted to find out.

I believe that that is my biggest strength; if there is something I do not know, I will do everything in my ability to find out what it is.  In the journalism field, reporting about the whole subject at hand, not just part of it, is absolutely essential.

  Once I decided that I wanted to be a journalist, I made my own blog that covered games and technology.  Shortly after, I made my own Twitter account that accompanied the blog.  I follow many popular newspapers and online magazines for both interest and so I can learn from them how to improve my writing and reporting.

While I enjoyed blogging and tweeting, I didn’t make my accounts just for entertainment; I made them to make myself known in the journalism world.  The journalism industry is constantly evolving.  In today’s world, the only way to make a name for oneself is to make readers aware of ones presence on the Internet.

            Along side my blog, I have had some of my works published in both academic textbooks and the UNH newspaper.  In my freshman year in college, my persuasive paper about repealing a controversial military law was published in Transitions, a college textbook containing student’s writings for English 401.  To date, I have had three stories published in UNH’s newspaper, The New Hampshire.

            Please find enclosed my resume and application.  You can reach my phone (978-846-3238) or by email (jdkscore@comcast.net).  Thank you for your time and I look forward to meeting with you.  Sincerely,

Joel Kost
