Dear Potential Employer,
I am writing in the hopes to join your team of creative thinkers and graphic artists. As a designer, I am hoping
to help your team reach the people and businesses of the community. As a hard working and fun loving
employee, I would help your team achieve its short and long term goals for success in the community, as
I did for Fosters Daily Democrat. I feel as though I have achieved all of the goals I had laid out for myself,
taking in and absorbing all that was offered to me. I am now looking forward to new challenges in company
branding, package design and marketing campaigns.
Why me?
As an award winning designer in a struggling newspaper industry, my work has helped to generate new
revenue, bring back dwindling customers and give confirmation to faithful customers that they are where
they need to be. Examples of my work can be found in my portfolio. One I am most proud of is giving new
life to the struggling Best Read Guide magazine and in turn generating thousands in new revenue.
As a forward thinking and out of the box designer I am confident and proven in prepress and production
work. My ability as a designer is amplified by my back-end knowledge of the industry. Knowing how my files
will be processed, displayed and viewed makes me a stronger, more valuable and well rounded potential
employee of your team.
Please see enclosed, my resumé which includes my educational background, qualifications, experience and
know-hows. Given the opportunity, I would love to meet with you and your team. To be sure this letter and
resumé has found you safely, I will be in contact within the next few days.
Many thanks for your time and consideration, I look forward to speaking with you.
Sincerely,
Tiffany Bisson
