Dear Joan,

I was referred to you by Marianne Clay regarding possible employment
by Madavor Media.  I have been a freelance writer for many years.  I
wrote a weekly feature article and a cooking column for a local
newspaper for 5 1/2 years, and most recently have been writing
freelance articles for Doll Reader (the September issue's piece on
Philip Heath, and the December/January issue's article on Xenis.  I
have also written many press releases on various subjects, and wrote
advertising copy for a television station in the 1960s.  I have an
Associate Degree in English.  In college I did some work in
journalism, and had a poetry column in the college newspaper.  I also
have experience in art, layouts and photography.  I effectively
publicized and merchandized a large wildlife rehabilitation
organization that I founded in 1977in Austin, Texas.

Although my career field in most recent years has been real property
appraisal (I was a chief appraiser for eleven years), encompassed
within the duties and complexities of that job were many aspects that
have relevance to writing.  Organization, attention to detail and
accuracy have been inherent in my work.  I am very motivated to
perform, and take reponsibility seriously.  I am comfortable with
multi-tasking, meeting deadlines, and working well under pressure.  I
have extensive experience in interacting with people, and providing
good customer service is something that I place great importance on,
and always have taken pride in offering.

I'm not knowledgeable on what opportunities may exist with your
company, but I would love to do more writing, and possibly get into
editorial work.  I am sending you a complete resume, and although my
main career has been in appraisal for the last few years, I have a
broad prior background in many additional skills as well (retail sales,
publicity, management, light bookkeeping, public relations) 

Thank you for your attention and consideration.


Sincerely,

Pam North
