Dear Hiring Executive:
More so than ever in today's uncertain economic climate, professionals at
all levels must carefully manage their investment of time and financial
resources. I am a firm believer that, in order to ensure success in a
recessed market, it is essential that companies establish relationships
with only the most talented, qualified, professionals with a demonstrated
ability to optimize revenue through dedicated performance, technical
competence, insightful strategic planning, effective interpersonal
interaction, and the ability to motivate fellow employees to take pride and
ownership in their work through leading by example.
I strongly believe that I possess these qualities and that I would be an
ideal candidate for a position with your organization; therefore, I have
enclosed my resume for your consideration, which will provide you with the
relevant information regarding my education, skills and experience.
As my resume will indicate, I have extensive experience as a lead graphic
designer. I have successfully developed visual arts solutions for a wide
range of professional needs including, but not limited to advertisements,
sales and marketing materials, corporate branding, page layout design, in-
store and external signage, commercial printing, licensed product
development, logo design, media kits, POP displays, digital photography,
and web site development.
In addition to my education and experience, I bring with me a number of
qualifications that will prove beneficial to your company:
Interpersonal Skills: Effectively communicate with staff and management to
optimize efficiency of daily operations. Anticipate potential conflicts and
bring them to quick resolution before they can become issues.
Analytical Skills: Think tasks through from initial planning to ultimate
execution. Constantly remain open to opportunities to increase efficiency
and profitability of facilities. Skilled at troubleshooting and problem
solving.
Commitment to Excellence: Self-motivated and highly driven to succeed.
Willing to go above and beyond what is expected in order to assure that
organization goals are met and exceeded.
Knowing that this brief introduction cannot adequately answer all of your
questions, I eagerly await the opportunity to discuss the possibility of
developing a long-term professional relationship with you in person.
Sincerely,
Seth H. Geiss
