RE: APPLICATION FOR THE POST OF A COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER
Following the job advertisement at the county website, I am pleased to apply for the position of a Communication Officer in Shimoni county. Apart from my bachelor of arts in communication, I am also a motivated and enthusiastic communication professional with 2 years of working experience in communication, marketing and public relations.

Currently working as a Communication Consultant at Twiga Manufacturers, I am responsible for creating and supervising the writing of press releases, speeches, newsletters as well as handling all communication inquiries. I am also an experienced social media strategist who can create content for the company’s website using various social media platforms so as to expand its reach.

With a passion to work with the local communities, I have been an advocate of their rights by covering their plights in various media platforms. I would therefore welcome the opportunity to work for Shimoni county as a communication officer and help the community address its need in the best way possible.

My CV is attached for your perusal and I look forward to being able to discuss the position with you further.

Thank you in advance.
