this is what prompted me to follow closely all the information that you share. The advertisements
show that the company is willing to employ more employees due to the vacancies that are
available in the company.
I have come across an advert that you made regarding a vacancy in the organization. The
advertisement was made in Ohio means jobs. Therefore, I seek to apply for the role of assistant

solution. At the end of the year, I will have attained my bachelor’s degree in media and culture
since I am in my major level.
The job advertised has a wide gap in the years of experience required, but that does not hinder
me from pursuing the career. I understand that if an individual has some basic requirements that
they have met, they are good to seek the job since they are fit for the same. According to the job
advertisement it is not specified whether it is fundamentally essential that all the requirements
are met. Therefore, the job advertisement is an open one, and anyone who has basic requirements
can as well apply.
The reason why I have chosen this job advertisement and identified it as the best fit is that it
requires an assistance role in the news director docket. Since I will be coming out of college, I
will need some training and experience to establish my skills well. Working under the guidance
of another person will help make me gain the skills that I require and those that I could have
during my college training. Throughout the advertisement, I have identified various issues that
employees require from a potential candidate, and I will ensure that as I go through my practice,
I will meet such requirements.
The advertisement has the duties and responsibilities that will be undertaken by the assistant
news director. First, the assistant news director should assist the news director as the name
suggests. The assistance will be in planning, staffing, training and to perform evaluations for the
news department. The assistant news director will be required to assist in developing news

and verification of meeting deadlines amongst the team and ensure that there is the achievement
of viewer rating goals. All the roles assigned addressed in this advertisement are in line with
what I have covered in college, and this means I will be able to deliver well in the organization if
I get the opportunity to serve under the news director of Nexstar Broadcasting, INC. I hope that
the company is going to consider my application when I submit for the position advertised.
