Enclosed you will find my resume for the position concerning your Marketing, Graphic Design, and Video Production needs. I hope you like it.
Previously I worked as a Graphic Designer and the Social Media Manger for Human Resources Consulting Incorporated, as a contractor for the Alabama Army National Guard where I was responsible for the development, creation, and production of state advertisements: signs, banners, flyers, brochures, t-shirts, and other printed materials. I loved the job, however, the contract ran out of money. Before working with the Alabama Army National Guard, I spent a decade running the sign division of a family business. Throw in some high speed police chases, 3 businesses, political memes, about 100 weddings, a funeral, green screens, newscasts, and some governmental red tape and here we are. You could be the next step in this story called …Okay, so I don’t know what the title of my tell-all will be, but you could be in it. It is all up to you. I am seeking a position that that will utilize my creative skills and creativity. (Yes. They are different.) I hope to hear from you soon to schedule an interview where I plan on convincing you I'm the guy you want or tell a few jokes, whatever tickles your fancy.
Sincerely,
Danny Weston

”Go Big or Go Home!” Those words sum up my attitude for life. I have a desire to create. Whether it is the building of LEGO blocks with my kids or designing logos for businesses. I want the, WOW! response. Having worked in many different creative fields, my strongest is print media. I love seeing something that I put blood, sweat, and tears into on display. Okay, there was only blood once. Simply completing the job, task, or project is not success. Having a completely satisfied client, customer, or business is the real measure of my success. EXPERIENCE
