Assignment #4: Job Packet
The job that I applied for was Copy Editing position at a fan-based entertainment website
called MoviePilot. The company is looking for detail-oriented, pop-culture savvy editor with
experience with social media. They also want someone with experience working with
successfully with a team. Since this is an entertainment based company, the culture seems to be
incredibly informal but clearly still strives for excellence as is indicated by their emphasis on
their on-the-job training program. The ad talks a lot about editing and creating shareable
content, which basically just means SEO-friendly or that it will be more likely to show up in a
search engine. Another main focus is pop-culture which means literally anything entertainment
based, ranging from TV and movies to superheroes and comic books. In my cover letter and
resume, I discuss my experience editing for a similar but smaller company in addition to my
experience managing social media platforms for my fraternity.

Tobias Bauckhage:
Hi my name is Theresa Frierson and I am applying for the Copy Editor position available at the
Moviepilot.com I was very excited to find this open position because I believe that my
experience editing movie, television, and entertainment centered content would make me a great
asset to your team.
My time editing for PopWrapped Entertainment has given ample experience in editing and
crafting high-trafficking fan-based content. As a Content Editor for the company, I was in charge
of checking all content for spelling and grammatical errors, researching facts and sources to
ensure validity, and crafting SEO-friendly headlines and meta-descriptions to increase article
searchability. I would love the opportunity to apply the knowledge I gathered at PopWrapped to
your wider platform.
Additionally, as Communications Director for the Delta Beta chapter of Alpha Phi Omega.
During my time as Director, I launched multiple Instagram and Twitter-based campaigns
designed to increase our chapters social media presence and name recognition. I implemented a
monthly member appreciation initiative known as the DB Spotlight which recognized highly
active and extraordinary members and increased our Instagram followers by 30 percent. If
offered the position, I could apply this knowledge of various social media platforms in order to
increase article distribution and amplify the companys social media presence.
I look forward to meeting with you to further discuss this opportunity. Thank you for your time
and consideration. I can be reached by phone at (918) 406-7448 or by email at

Sincerely,
