To Whom It May Concern:

I’m writing to express my interest in a position with your company. I was a graphic designer for many years. At Long Island University, I was in charge of print advertising for multiple campuses and was responsible for educating new employees and colleagues on the latest graphic design software. I was responsible for major advertising campaigns and was involved in the rebranding of the university. These responsibilities have helped me become a leader in the work environment, as well as being someone that coworkers look to for guidance and assistance.

Most recently, I’ve been working in school districts. I have not been successful in finding a full-time tenure track position. Because of this, I’m looking at other career opportunities that would lead to long term employment. I want to be in a position where I grow and advance.

I look forward to the opportunity to discuss with you how I would be a valuable asset to your company. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. Thank you for your time in considering my qualifications. Sincerely,

Nicholas Manolis
