- 3.2 Do you have any noteworthy job experience relevant to this vacancy? If so, where?
I spent a great many years as a journalist in Los Santos during my younger days, progressing from the low intern ranks up through to network anchor in a reputable media establishment. I then moved into the world of corporate PR as a press office assistant at a marketing agency, before eventually going to work for one of my clients, Solarin Inc.
In 2018 I spend some time assisting Mayor Rockford with the formation of the Department of Cultural Affairs, before leaving once again following his absence. Finally, in my most recent return to Los Santos I assisted the Democratic party with some of their PR during the Mayoral elections in 2020. I have since dropped my affiliation with either party, as I would later move on to work for a news outlet where neutrality was valued above all else.
IV. MOTIVATIONAL LETTER
- 4.1 Please explain why you have decided to apply for this vacancy.
I have always loved writing and have spent much of my working life as a communications professional in some way; whether that be a journalist, a spokesperson, speech writer and so on.
Without going into too much detail, I've recently divorced from my husband and am looking to return to my roots here in Los Santos. I don't have much to my name and the city has changed so much since I was last around. What I do know, however, is that I'd love to have a role in communications and PR once again. Although the fast-paced life of a journalist is thrilling and exciting, I'd rather work more for something that I believe in.
In the relatively short time that I have been back, I've been reading through your press releases and activities and am very impressed. There was once a time when a Mayor, and thus the Government, would be barely visible or active whatsoever. It is incredibly refreshing to see that this is not the case here - quite the opposite - I hear very good things!
However of course, there are always naysayers and critics. That is naturally part of the world we live in - in politics. There are some people who simply cannot be convinced and will always be in opposition. These individuals can rarely be brought around to any other way of thinking. Then of course you have those who sit mostly on the fence; the individuals who may not spend much time understanding the political climate at all, and hold no strong opinions. These individuals are, in my mind, who City Hall's PR and communications activities should be aimed at - and knowing our audience is key after all.
To give you the nutshell version of why I'm applying: I seek a purpose, and one which puts my skills to good use. I have a great many ideas for how we could take City Hall's communications to the next level - I even have a full list of events ideas for the entire year if you'd like to see it. Naturally, if you're looking for a worker bee to distribute work to, whether that's writing or providing comments, speech writing, events organisation and administration - I would be delighted to help.
I do hope that you will consider me for the position of Communications Analyst, and would love to speak to you about this role further.
Kind regards,
Allegra Nixon
