Dear Sir/Madame,

I am writing to you because of my interest in your recently opened position advertised on mandy.com. I am very interested by the prospect of getting to join your creative team, and break into the video game production industry.

I am currently an undergraduate studying Computer Games Programming at the University Of Lincoln and i believe that I could be an invaluable member of your team. I think that I could not only bolster your team with my skills and expertise, but that I could also expand my skill set and in turn become more valuable to you as a member of your team in the industry.

I have attached my resume that details my skills and experiences further.

Regards,

Tyler Miller

CV

Tyler miller

I believe that the ability to create games of my own, as well as meet other like-minded people in this field is a priceless resource. These are both things I think I will have access to at the University Of Lincoln. This subject interests me because I am deeply in love with video games, and believe that programming is a very useful skill to have in general. I think that even beyond the scope of video games, programming will be an almost invaluable skill in the years to come, given the rapid expansion of technology.

I am a hard worker, especially when working on something I am passionate about. I am more than willing to devote the time to learn the skills to succeed and have already started on this, opting to try and build up a base knowledge of programming in my free time using online courses.

My current course relates to the course I wish to enrol in, during my time on the Media Diploma course I have had to participate in several group projects, which means I work well in teams or on my own. I have had to do some programming on the course but so far this has been limited to basic exercises.

I have a sizeable repertoire of skills at my disposal, these include:

The ability to read, and write well in English, to work well in a group, taking more leader oriented roles or being directed by one.

Working well on my own and actively seeking out resources in order to aid this solo work, being able  to communicate well to a crowd, such as in a pitching scenario.

I am also very responsible, devoting much of my free time to my part time job, and my other time to my League Of Legends club (unofficial). I believe these examples show my ability to complete tasks responsibly and efficiently and to enjoy the work I am doing, something I believe is important in any work environment.

My hobbies are varied, they include:

Gaming offline and online, watching films, reading, collecting comic books and novels, basketball. Socialising with friends, whether online or in person I flourish when having someone to talk to. Watching internet personalities on platforms like Youtube or Twitch.

Work Experience

My work experience at HSS Hire Newmarket road and my current work at Argos Fitzroy Street have both forced me to work face to face with customers and through the internet or a telephone, it is here that I have developed better people skills as well as the ability to work well in a team to accomplish a task, meet deadlines and quotas, and generally get along.

Future plans

After I complete my chosen course I’d like to make my own games, either part time or full time.

I think it would be good experience learning how to work within the industry, as well as put my experiences and skills on the course to the test. I believe that the course will teach me everything I need to know about programming and designing my own games, whether In a team or solo setting.

It is my hope that this personal statement makes my application to stand out among the crow, and further displays how eager I am to have new experiences and demonstrate my skills.
