Hello there,

I was very excited to find out where my next potential career opportunity is. I am currently employed, into my 11th year at WSIL TV 3. I am looking for a refreshing way to further my career. I started out in the business not very confident in my abilities, and as an Associate Producer, but I’ve grown in the past 11 years and am now very confident in my abilities to report accurate information, tell good stories, meet deadlines, and engage viewers, work well with a team, and aid leading a successful team.

I am motivated and passionate and a quick learner. I aspire to see how far I can help take WSIL News 3. I work well with others and I am a team player. I am from the Southern Illinois area and I'm not afraid to ask the hard questions to get information. I know the community, local leaders and already have a repore with viewers.

I am interested in filling the Weekday Evening News Anchor position. I am flexible as far as work hours and I believe this is my next step in furthering my career.

I have been in charge of producing my own segments, called "Schoolhouse Update" and “Class Act”, which is geared soley on education, "Sack Hunger", focused on the need for all area food pantries and "Unsung Hero", which allows us a a platform to recognize locals who do good in the communty. I also did a special segment called, "Pay it Forward", where I choose random people every week to give money too and tell their stories.

I enjoy a diverse work setting. I am looking forward to discussing my qualifications with you. I can be contacted at the address and phone number above.

I know and understand my weaknesses, but not afraid of growth and change. I don't offend easily and can get along with anybody. I have worked in ministry my entire life (in the United States and overseas in New Zealinad for 5 years) which presents several challenges, but I've been able to stand out as leader.

Other skills,
I sing and am licensed minister at my local church.

Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you

Sincerely,
Evie B Allen (Barton)
