Human Resource Manager,

Dear Novita Sari,
I am excited to be applying for the Junior Journalist Role at your company. After reviewing your
job description, I believe that I am the perfect candidate for the position. I have been writing
news articles since I was in high school and I was also the leader of my school’s journalistic
organization. In addition, I have been interested in RuangKoran since it won the Most Creative
Publication Award last year. I am certain that I can collaborate with your editorial team and
further develop Indonesian creative media.
I am a recent high school graduate and currently, I am in my first semester of college in Media
and Communication major at Brahmana University. I graduated from high school with a high
distinction due to my high exam scores and my extracurricular achievements. I gained my
journalistic experiences in my school’s student newspaper. I started as a field reporter, in which
I learned valuable skills, such as developing detailed articles and maintaining a resourceful
knowledge in news topics. Later, I was promoted to the editor role, where I managed my team
in producing creative content. Under my leadership, our newspaper won the award for the Best
Student Newspaper in the state for two years in a row. I am confident that my proven skills will
help me to contribute to RuangKoran’s success.
I look forward to having a discussion about the job in an interview. I hope that my skills and
experiences will bring value to RuangKoran in the future. Thank you for your time and
consideration.
Sincerely yours,
Nurul Anwar
