Dear Hiring Manager,

As a seasoned speechwriter with 10 years of experience in technology, media, and political settings, I apply with enthusiasm for this opportunity.

I am currently the Speechwriter at Halliwell Technologies, where I write original and compelling high-profile communications for the CEO. This includes major addresses, brief remarks, talking points, and presentations to showcase our vision, mission, and outputs to external and internal audiences. This is an intense, fast-paced role which requires me to rapidly research and produce material of varying purpose, complexity, and voice. I have an impeccable track record in ensuring that strategy, message development, branding, and other core goals are accomplished in each piece.

This builds upon my time as Communications Specialist at Joy Media and as a Junior Speechwriter with the US Senate. In addition to my experience, I hold a Master of Corporate Communications. I possess superior writing and editing skills, experience across a wide range of distribution platforms, and the ability to rapidly analyze information and articulate it through persuasive messaging. 

As I am relocating to Chicago with my family, I am seeking an exciting opportunity closer to my new home that will enable me to connect the dots between message delivery and audience engagement.

Please find attached my résumé for your consideration. Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you regarding next steps.

Yours sincerely,

Jeffrey Chang
