applications and I found this job title a very interesting way to manage the Company´s
content on social media and national television.

I offer expert knowledge in relationship building with advanced abilities in employee

supervision and proficiency in innovative mindset. I’m not afraid to take on any
challenge and relish the opportunity to improve operations and seek out better methods
to achieve more reliable and faster results. My career has enabled me to develop other
skills in such key areas like:

. Teamwork.

. Motivation.

. Determination.

. Document management

. Confidence.

. Leadership.

. Social Networking.

In my previous Social Communication and Journalism Manager position, I was

recognized as a top performer and always went beyond basics to help the team and
serve business needs. I was an example of a mentor should be because I am a person
who likes to set goals and motivate other teammates into the best decisions for the
company. I would be more than happy to bring that same drive and enthusiasm to your
team and know I could be a valuable asset. Making Mando Medio one of the most
recognizable companies dedicated to journalism.

I am pleased to address you to show my appreciation for the time you spent in my
personal interview and for taking the time to show me around your offices.
