Dear Hiring Manager,

As an accomplished Technical & Visual Communications Specialist with advanced skills in customer service (internal and external), lean process management, and global communications, I am interested in becoming an integral team player within your organization and hope to have the opportunity to contribute to its continued success and your forecast business plan.

An extensive background developing and managing technical communications/content/publications is only a partial description of my skills. In addition, my level of expertise includes working in very large and diverse groups and having the ability to assimilate complex information and data from an array of subject matter experts and synthesize into compliant, succinct, aesthetic, multilingual documents. My proficiency in creative communications, website design and management, illustration, graphic art, presentations, email-marketing, content writing, editing, technical literature (brochures, manuals, SOP’s, government compliant literature, support documentation, etc.) allows me to offer you a solid and broad skill set for an opportunity to become a team player.

Creativity, innovation, collaboration, and excellence are my passions and I thrive in a multi-tasking, deadline-oriented team environment. Ultimately, I strive to continue as one of the best in my profession while endeavoring to enhance the lives of others and the company for which I work. I am confident that by sharing my professional experience and skills a mutual benefit would result.

I offer advanced technical and creative skills and the ability to create an array of dynamic business support communications in multiple languages (web and print). I adjust to new systems and processes easily and possess proficiency in all universal office, creative, technical, CMS, and Desktop Publishing (DTP) software.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Kind regards,

Kay Jacobs
