Re: Reprographics Technician
To Whom It May Concern:
I read your recent internet posting for the Reprographics Technician listing and I am
interested in pursuing this position with your company.
I have over 20 years of experience in the imaging/scanning/printing industry and offer
extensive knowledge of digital imaging equipment, and multi-platform IT support. I have
been an integral member in the implementation of several large scale imaging solution
projects for Fortune 500 companies. I offer the knowledge of a wide range of imaging
workflows and systems. I am detail- and deadline-oriented, striving for the highest quality
level of service. My previous responsibilities have involved working with both internal and
external customers to resolve any issues at the earliest possible moment and assure customer
satisfaction. I am also capable of quickly learning new software and possess the
organizational and communication skills that would make me an asset to your company.
I would like to meet with you to talk about your needs and how my talents may be applied to
your company. Please contact me to discuss any questions. I look forward to your response.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Daniel Grofer
