Greetings!
I am submitting my resume for your review, as I am exploring new
opportunities, and the position of you have advertised sounds exciting!
As a strong communicator, I work from initial client meetings to establish
marketing expectations, selling points, and concepts to final production.
My varied experience in communications spans industrial, high tech, retail,
hospitality,
medical, legal/financial institutions and museums. With my varied skills
and experience, I would be a strong candidate.
As a Graphic Communications teacher I successfully taught, operated, art
directed the in-house design studio of 20 students. While teaching and
maintaining individual student lessons, we also consistently produced over
100 projects during the school year. We won multiple awards for the school
from production, design, to video production. The in-house studio operated
and function as an agency producing the school promotions and literature
and was a resource to surrounding non-profit businesses such as the
UnitedWay.
Consistently, I maintain high quality standards, a strong work ethic and a
commitment to bringing products and services to market. I provide
successful literature designs and campaigns in or under budget, on-time
with proven success.
I bring years of experience to the work force. My time management skills
are sharp and I don't break out in a sweat over tough assignments and
deadlines. My approach is to remain cool and focused.
My sensibilities as an effective communicator within a variety of companies
is the result of strong listening skills, providing clear, effective design
and problem solving solutions.
I welcome the opportunity to discuss this opportunity I think this could be
a match for you and me. I've also attached URLs of my digital portfolios on
my resume for you to review.
Regards!
