Speech Example 2 “I work in PR. I’m a communication specialist and musician, looking to expand my opportunities in the music industry. My background is in journalism and communications. I graduated two years ago with honors, from NYU, where I was editor-in-chief for the school newspaper, and also worked part-time as a sound engineer in a recording studio near campus. I’ve combined my passion for communication and music by spending the past two years working in a mid-sized PR firm, specializing in the recording industry. This has been particularly satisfying since I also play sax in a small jazz group performing in the East Village.
At this stage, I’m looking to expand the breadth of activities I perform to include more media pieces as well as more responsibility for key accounts. My understanding is that your company, Red-Yellow-Blue Creatives, would be an ideal fit for my experience, and I’d like to hear more about your needs, to see where I could contribute . . .”
