Victor is well dressed and enthusiastic.
My name is Victor Mims and I am currently completing my final year of a bachelor of Media and Communications at Deakin University. I am interested in completing an internship during my last year. I am looking for an un-paid position to try and gain experience in Media, Communications, Journalism and Public Relations. I find working in the non-for-profit industry a rewarding experience and I believe my skills could positively impact on any organization.
I want to gain experience and new skills over a 100-120 hour work-integrated internship. I am flexible with my hours. I would hope the placement would include a combination of observation and completing tasks. I work at Meals on Wheels, which provides me with an interesting insight into the lives of disadvantaged and elderly people. I have a passion for social justice and helping people. I consider myself outgoing, happy, hard working and a good communicator. My interests outside of work and study include AFL, fishing and travel.
Completing my Journalism Major has left me with a sound writing ability, having written a lot of editorial pieces, feature articles and hard news pieces for assignments. I finished my Journalism major with a distinction grade point average. This interest in writing lead me to working with Brett de Hoedt on his website www.Jobvill.com.au. I was hired to write and publish the news article sections on this non-for profit, job advertising website. I used to update the website weekly with original and relevant news articles to gather search engine interest and to add credibility to the website.
I am also currently completing my Film Major at Deakin University. This has given me the ability to work with different mediums within my Media and Communication degree. I am now comfortable in front of and behind the camera. For example conducting filmed interviews and using post-production skills that are required to make a finished film product. I have always had a passion for film, which has led me create a lot of film work. In 2010 my year 12 Media film was short listed in Geelong’s Short Film Festival. Last year I made a short current affair news film on the possibility of a ‘lone’ terrorism act at the AFL Grand Final. I interviewed MCG staff, patrons and a board member of the Islamic Council of Victoria.

My knowledge about creating digital media could be useful in supporting non-for profit organizations aiming to connect with a broader audience.
I would be delighted to have the opportunity to work with a professional communication team. I would be happy to provide any additional information that you require, such as examples of my work or a resume. Feel free to contact me with any questions about my application. I would be very happy to attend an interview and discuss an internship further with you.
Thank you for your consideration,
Victor Mims
