Dear GoldenEye: Source Developers, Team Members and Players,

I am interested in joining the team to write Public Relation pieces for GoldenEye: Source announcements and news.

If you haven’t had the chance to meet me before, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Emily or as everyone calls me, Emilia. I have been playing GoldenEye: Source for approximately 3 years, since the release of Beta 3. I am the leader of the clan/community Spectrum, where run my own forum and with the help of MaJoR, help to manage the Spectrum GoldenEye Server. I am an active member of the GES community. Having my own server, I am lucky enough to meet new GES players frequently, and I enjoy welcoming them to our community. 

I have had my first taste of working with the team about a month ago. I was given the opportunity to beta test the recent community maps Siberia and Grid, just before they were released. Additionally, whilst I did not write the latest community PR announcement, I helped to do the final editing of the piece, which, with my contribution, I improved the readability and flow of the writing.


Now, I understand that it is important that an applicant provide examples of their work to be considered joining the team. I can openly say that I have no pieces of work that I can show to you that would reflect the duties of a PR, but last year, my university course required me to write a journal article with two other people, in which we received strong marks. Through this experience alone, I understand the importance of deadlines and the ability to work with a team of people to produce a piece of writing.


I believe that my experience with the mod, my involvement in the community and my strong dedication to GoldenEye: Source is of strong importance when it comes to writing a piece for the community. At the end of the day, you have to understand what you are writing about and be able to work with others that will produce a piece of writing that will be accepted by the community.

Thank you,

Emily

We really need help breaking into new markets. There are plenty of people that haven't yet heard of or properly played our mod. I think your help in this area would be very beneficial to us.

We need well written periodicals to be released to news outlets and blogs. Well presented images and gameplay descriptions are also important and missing.

Unfortunately, I have no idea how to use Photoshop or anything like that.

The writing I could do though.

I also vouch for this as well, even if it's a non-issue at this point.
She's a hell of an editor at the very least.
