Web Content Editor Cover Letter Example

Dear Mr. Stewart,

I know I would make a terrific Web Content Editor for your company and I am submitting my resume for your open position. I am very familiar with SEO techniques as well as formatting for consumption on the internet. I have a Bachelor’s degree in English and seven years of experience working as an editor.

I originally began as an editor for a print magazine then transitioning into the Web Editor role for the online version. Editing the online magazine taught me that editing web content differs from editing print content in several important ways. First it is important for articles to be optimized so they can easily be found on search engines and my SEO skills assist me with that. A second very important difference with editing web content is that people visually are able to digest smaller paragraphs broken up by graphics. I edit content to smaller paragraphs and insert graphics to make it more visually appealing and readable in an online format. I have the necessary excellent proofreading and spelling skills.

I would enjoy working as a Web Content Editor for your company. I am requesting an interview at your earliest convenience. I can be reached by phone.

Sincerely,

Sharon Sloan
