Cover letter examples for a radio jockey

An engaging Radio Jockey cover letter can help you grab an employer’s attention, which can lead to landing an interview for a job. When writing a radio jockey cover letter, these are some of the important things to include in your letter:

• Address the employer with a formal salutation. For example, “Dear/Hello (name of the recipient).” If you do not know the name of the recipient, you can refer to them as the hiring manager.

• The next step is to state the position you are applying for and how you found the opening. 

• Make a brief statement about why you’re interested in the position.

• State your skills and work experience. Ensure your skills and experiences are similar to the job position. When highlighting skills, provide the accomplishment you have achieved. 

• Conclude your letter with a forward-looking statement. For example, “I look forward to discussing the position with you further.”

Sample 1:

“Dear Mr. Ivory,

I am submitting this packet in order to be considered for the Radio Jockey position that was listed on your website. My resume will reflect my skills and abilities that go hand in hand with what you are seeking. I have a great personality and have particular skills at interviewing those guests who would be visiting the show.

My background includes a Bachelor’s Degree in Broadcasting and I have been working in the industry for over fifteen years with the last five co-hosting a show at a small radio station. Because of all of the internet competition, the radio station could no longer sustain itself and I now find myself looking for a new situation. Obviously, communication skills are required for this opening and I can provide plenty of examples of my on-air work at your request.

It is important that any radio station has a great team of employees who can bring in more listeners and advertising dollars. I know that my enthusiasm and sense of humor would be appreciated by your audience and that I would increase the listening audience. I would love to talk to you further in order to better illustrate my talents. I can be reached at any time to set up this meeting by calling (555)-555-5555.

Sincerely,

Matthew Winkler

Dear Ms. Williams,

While reading the Sound Magazine, I came across the advertisement which states the requirement of radio announcer for your radio station. My experience as a radio announcer in the community and private FM channels enables me to continue this profession with ease.

I used to work as a radio announcer for the morning and afternoon news program in Angelo Community Radio from 2003 to 2005. I always had an inclination to work for private FM channels as it provides a fast paced work environment and interactive programs to work for. I completed a course in radio programming and voice modulation from Xavier’s Media and Arts School and joined Freedom Radio in 2006. My ability to speak fluently in local dialect helps me to connect with the audiences and ensure listenership that in turn is beneficial for the station to earn popularity and commercial success.

Feel free to contact me by telephone or e-mail as per your convenience. I would like to thank you and I will be eagerly waiting for a positive response.

Yours sincerely,

Christopher Mallory

Dear Ms. Newsome,

I talked to James Fosse who works as a Sales Manager in your organization. He told me that there is an opening for the position of a radio announcer. I hold experience working in this position and hence would like to apply for the opening in your organization.

I am a radio jockey at Musicology FM and currently, I work for the late-night show “Ride Long”. This is an interactive show where I not only play songs but also invite the listeners to participate in the trivia quiz during the show. This show alone accounts for the maximum listenership according to the Listenership Survey 2011. I can connect with audiences very easily and my in-depth knowledge and passion for rock and metal music will help me to script the show for your station as it specializes in broadcasting rock music.

Given a chance to serve your organization, I will contribute my wholehearted efforts to ensure maximum listenership. I am available for an interview as and when scheduled. I thank you for considering my application and await a positive response.

Yours sincerely,

Gloria G. Rogers
