To whom it may concern,
I would like to express my interest in the graphic design position you
currently have posted on www.resumebook360.com. My experience and skill,
along with my creative mind, make me a prime candidate for the design
position.
With a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from Missouri State
University, I leapt into the competitive world of interactive marketing at
imc2 in Dallas, Texas. I have developed a real passion for understanding
consumer needs. As a conceptual designer serving the needs of consumer
companies such as Procter & Gamble, I spent much of my time analyzing
market trends and consumer dynamics, and developing creative and innovative
strategies that would differentiate our clients' products from competitors'
brands. I gained broad exposure to a number of marketing functions and
learned quickly how to build leadership, analytical, and creative problem-
solving skills. My time spent at imc2 heightened my ability to set the
strategic direction of a brand.
Immediately following my employment with imc2 I was hired as a graphic
designer at the Life Insurance Company of the Southwest (LSW) located in
Dallas, Texas. As a part of their marketing team I helped develop a new
online ordering website designed with the LSW agent in mind. I have also
drastically furthered my knowledge in print design by working on various
marketing kits that include materials such as: brochures, case studies,
product highlight sheets, postcards, mailers, fliers, event posters,
banners, and much more.
I believe that I would be a great addition to your team. My background and
enthusiasm provide me with an excellent foundation to be a valuable
contributor to your company. I would very much like to discuss the
available graphic design position you have. To view samples of my work
please visit www.sl3design.com. If you have any further questions or would
like additional information, please contact me at 573-***-**** or through e-
mail at abjyiy@r.postjobfree.com. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Stephanie A. Lindberg
