    Hi,

    I am very interested in applying for the Community Project Officer position in Frankston. As a student currently studying a Graduate Certificate in Community Planning and Development, I believe that the position would be of immense benefit, and allow me to learn a great deal.

    Since completing school, I have obtained a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature, and have worked as a Freelance writer, and a Proofreading and Communications Assistant for the last year. During this time, I have written and/or edited blogs, advertorials, feature articles, scripts, academic level training material, and have been involved in many projects. I am a creatively-minded individual, who recognises the importance of being organised and efficient. I thrive on problem solving, and believe that solutions should be well-thought out and situational.

    I would love to be considered for the position that you are advertising, as I have recently started my own freelancing business and am eager to gain as much experience as possible. Thank you so much for your time and consideration.

    Regards,

    Rachel

    The above quote is the estimated cost per week. My rate is $60/hour. We would need to negotiate exact terms of contract, for example start date, deadlines and exact number of hours / days required. I have worked as a staff journo/editor, as well as a freelance writer for many publications. I've focused on health, education, science and medical rounds mainly, but have also written web copy, marketing material and edited business reports. I've been an academic editor as well, so I'm quite an all-rounder. I specialise in turning technical information into engaging copy. I've also written blogs and opinion pieces and do have experience with marketing collateral / white papers. I'm happy to send through a portfolio for you to look at, if required.
