Dear Ms Swan
I am writing to for the position of Public Affairs Associate, which was last week in The Guardian.

Read the job description and write a pertinent cover letter following the sample above
Here at The Guardian, we believe the open exchange of information, ideas and opinions has the power to change the world for the better.
More people than ever before are reading, watching and listening to Guardian journalism from across the world. Over the past year The Guardian achieved record digital traffic with our highest number of regular readers and monthly page views averaging over 1.1 billion.
In 2019 we hit our highest revenues in a decade and achieved the goal we set three years earlier to break even. We’re now on a path to achieve the
goal of two million people supporting The Guardian by 2022.
We are recruiting a Software Developer to join our engineering team.
About the role
You’ll mostly be programming in Scala, running in AWS, but we use the tool that best fits the problem.
You’ll be working in a cross-functional team, which is empowered to rapidly iterate and release new features.
You won’t be coding in isolation - our culture is strongly collaborative, whether pair programming with other developers or working closely with editorial and commercial colleagues.
Sometimes deciding what code to write is as hard as writing the code itself. As an engineer you’ll be involved in product decisions as well as technical ones.
You’ll be encouraged to grow - we support moving between teams and roles in order to learn new skills and technologies in whatever direction you choose.
About You
As a server side engineer, you’ll be equally willing to dive into a purely functional and composable Scala back-end or work with a variety of database and streaming technologies. You won’t
necessarily be an expert in everything, but you’ll be eager to learn.
You are a creative, passionate, and intelligent person who loves web technologies.
You are excited by the opportunity to shape the future of digital journalism.
Your interests go beyond just your team’s objectives; you are curious about where the organisation is moving as a whole.
You have a strong interest in growing your skills.
You can make reasoned choices regarding what technologies to use and when to use them.
We believe diversity of people, backgrounds, experience and ideas helps us to build better products and achieve more. We welcome applicants who have taken traditional and non-traditional career paths into software development.
How to apply
To apply, send your latest CV and a cover letter which outlines why you’d like to take on this exciting role, and why you’re a great match for what we’re looking for to Mr James Brown, HR Manager
