My Cover Letter to Foxtel

September 20th 2006 11:18
How y'all doin
I haven't posted in a while and I am pretty tired, so here's something you can have a read of.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am the perfect candidate for the vacancy regarding the position of promo producer. I love movies, have good communication skills, and have an excellent eye for creativity, both in the visual and written aspect

I have a number of friends who have traveled abroad (Indonesia and Vietnam) in vain attempts to find similar work, in both a promo producing and commercial capacity. I prefer to stay, hoping that my country of birth shows its larrikin spirit in recognizing the pure creativity of a battler, for creativity stems from the deprived. Was Michelangelo poor do I ask?


Three years of experience is just a number. I’ll give you a better one. Five. That’s right. It’ll only take five minutes to watch my DVD of promos that should have accompanied this cover letter. If this is not the case, my dreams of grandeur are forever lost through the actions of a tipsy postal worker.

The promos were developed with the use of Sony Vegas software, which I have a number of years experience amongst others. I am also a capable writer, having written various shorts and articles regarding sport at britishboxing.net. My main love though is movies. I eat, sleep and smell them. Sometimes at night, when it’s quiet enough, I hear voices. Voices from the classics of old to the rip snorting, smash bang, CGI clustered movies of new. Did someone say Schizophrenia?

I am energetic, brash, hungry, and polite and not all in that order. When I am editing, time flies so I must enjoy it. If you want to hire someone that brings a vibrant attitude to something he loves doing whilst conforming to the specifications of the corporate engine, then hire me. If you want to hire your average, run of the mill pencil pusher, whose greatest asset is passing mundane comments regarding the previous day’s episode of Home and Away around the water cooler, then hire the next guy.


Yours Faithfully

Chris Ibrahim

Seeing as how this is supposed to a boxing blog, did anyone catch Barrera taking Juarez to school? Pretty boring though.
