Application for the role of Media Planner

I have always been interested in Marketing and Advertising and I continued with this at University and graduated in (what year, if true, if not any relevant courses?)
I understand the role of a Media Planner and feel that I have some good contacts from my year out where I worked at (where, doing what?). I enjoy liaising with the Media and looking and analysing where the best place is to advertise and who to target to make an advert successful.
