Hi, I'm Kelly.
I heard there’s an open position at BuzzFeed.
So I was calm.
And decided I should do what any normal person would.
Before we begin, there are a few things you should know about me.
And
Much better, here we go. I graduated from Vanderbilt in 2012 and had my whole life planned out.
But then reality set in.
And it's OK because it led me here.
So why do I want to work at Buzzfeed?
Buzzfeed has changed the way we share and absorb information.
It’s my one stop shop for news and entertainment. Like when I need to learn about what’s happening in the world.
Or when I need a comparison to Mean Girls to understand the government shutdown.

Now it's my time to contribute.
I have many strengths that would make me successful at BuzzFeed. First of all, I’m very polite and have great communication skills.
I work well with others.
I think outside the box.
And I’m not afraid to ask the tough questions.
But no, I’m not perfect. Just like everyone else, I have my weaknesses.
With work experience in branding and marketing, I have a comprehensive understanding of the communications field.
Business strategy is my forte.
I'm basically a social media guru.
And am constantly coming up with new methods to increase our site's SEO.
Prior to my current role as a Marketing Associate, I was an Executive Assistant, which required wearing many hats.
It hasn't been all peaches and cream. I've faced some challenges throughout my career.
But I remain composed during stressful situations.
There have also been times when things didn't go the way I planned.
But I always think back to my mom's advice:
So why am I right for this position? As an avid BuzzFeed reader, I know your audience.
My interest in pop-culture is more than a hobby.
And I have some great ideas when it comes to content for the site.
I know we would make a good team.
If for some reason it doesn't work out, I'll be OK.
But I know what you're thinking:
So when you come calling,
