Dear HR Manager:
I read in the web site of your need for a Graphic Designer for your firm. I
reside in the Denver area and believe that I have the necessary credentials
for the position.
I have exemplary skills in using Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Quark,
Microsoft Office, Dreamweaver and Flash. I also have exceptional digital
photography skills and am able to take the photo, adjust the photo and send
the photo to print. I am also a competent artist with various media
including pencil, markers and paint. As you can see from my resume, I have
held Graphic Design Positions before completing my education.
In addition to this practical experience, I have completed my Bachelors
degree in June of 2009 with a Magna Cum Laude award. As you may know,
Platt College is one of the few Colleges in the country that offers such a
specialized degree for Graphic Design. I am confident that my software
skills, along with my eye for detail and creative design, make me an
excellent candidate for your job.
Your Firms projects are familiar to me, and my aspiration is to work for a
Company that has your excellent reputation. I would welcome the
opportunity to interview with you. In the next week to ten days I will
contact you to answer any questions you may have.
Thank you for your consideration.
Michael Bret Chadwick
