Resume:

To Whom it may concern...

Hi I’m writing to apply for the Pre-Press Operator Job. I have enclosed my resume, with Job History, the programs I am ﬂ uent in and a long list of reference. You’ll be able to see that I am ar least as qualiﬁ ed as any other candidate you have. But thats not why you should hire me...

there are several great reasons to hire me, and not the next guy on the List. They are:

I love my Job. Seriously I do. I love looking into ﬁ les, making them work, ﬁ guring out why they don’t and making it happen.

I show up all the time.

I don’t bring Drama into work with me. I’m a married guy with three kids, so work is also an escape for me...

Experience. I have done just about everything there was or is to do in Prepress. I’ve probably come across just about every issue that can come up and dealt with them. I have worked on Systems Starting with a DS Assembler, Scitex, Rampage, Prinergy and Trueﬂ ow

I’m a good natured and respectful person, I don’t bring my opinions, Politics or Religion to work with me.

I love the Idea of working in NYC again.

I’ve done work for Clients big and small and still have relationships with some of them. I love being able to help out co-workers.

The collective MIND that gets things done. Sharing your tips and Tricks. I enjoy learning new ways to do things, to get the right results. Now while I do not have a lot of Packaging experience I do have 20+ years in the printing business, and I feel this has prepared me for most any thing that needs to be done. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Sincerly
