Hi.. I would like you to consider my bid on your project for the following reasons:
My former employment was as the advertising manager for a publishing company which, during a tough recession, meant I had to regularly find new money-making ideas/features for our two golfing magazines... This meant doing lots of research into companies and areas of the world that we could possibly target, feature and generate advertisers on the back of. I excel in this line of work.
Secondly, I am a qualified journalist and I still contribute to the magazines as a freelancer - I hope that you can tell from this description that my English is well-written.
I am ideally hoping for a long-term project/employer rather than having to constantly bid on projects - I am new here and have already spent over 12 hours working on a fake project. Not something I want to continue doing.
I hope you will consider me for your project/s.
PS: I am negotiable on an hourly rate moving forward, so would be happy to chat and come to an agreement with you. I appreciate that you will already have a budget in mind.
