BRADLEY SCOTT ROENFELDT
Dear Sir or Madam:
I love broadcasting, and I am interested in employment opportunities in the Omaha/Lincoln, Nebraska, area.
• I am an eager and reliable employee.
• I routinely arrive early for work each day so that I have ample time to prepare for my daily duties and can be ready to go to work at my scheduled start time.
• I am willing to work extra hours whenever needed.
• I work very well alone, but I am also able to easily work with others and follow instructions as given.
• I am creative and detail oriented.
• I am always on the look-out for better and more efficient ways of completing my duties.
• I thrive in an environment that allows me to stretch and build upon my skills and abilities, thus allowing me to become a better employee, while striving to make my place of employment a better company.
• I love radio so much, that I have been volunteering as an on-air personality/producer for a public radio station in Lincoln for nearly five years. (I’d rather do radio for nothing, then not do it at all).
It is my sincere hope and desire that you will take a close and thoughtful look at me as a potential employee, and encourage you to review the attached resume. I thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.
Respectfully yours,
Bradley Scott Roenfeldt
