formal letter ; application letter .

Dear Mrs Johnes ,

Assistant Editor / Desk Editor

I wish to apply for the above post , advertised in www.job.pl .

I'm twenty-seven years old . I studied at Jagieloński University journalism and editorship . I have recommendations from my lectures .
Currently I am working in a new small publishing company , Printers , that specializes in highly designed , high-quality books . Since I started here I have been the only full-time employee working on all editorial aspects of the books . I have a very wide range of responsibilities including : editing on screen in Microsoft Word , liaising with the designers and freelance editors , managing the stationery budget , Americanizing text .

I have been at Printers for over a year , and I have learnt a great deal , but there is no longer the scope to use all my knowledge and experience . I am seeking a position that offers responsibility for the full range of publishing and editorial skills , as well as the opportunity to meet and work with a range of people . I like to think that I bring enthusiasm and adaptability to my work .

I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this letter and my enclosed curriculum vitae .

I look forward to hearing from you .

Yours sincerely ,

.....
