Graphic Designer Assistant
Resume:
RE: Graphic Designer
Good morning,
Please accept this letter as an expression of my interest in the Graphic Designer position Moda Health. I believe my skill set may be exactly what you are looking for. In my previous roles, as sole designer in Oregon for Young’s Market Company, and as part of a team for Columbia Distributing I took most projects from concept development to completion, including art direction, design, costing and print sourcing. I was responsible for the library of information including all supporting files, product information and client files, along with all research into and acquisition of relevant assets. I love to work solo but also am a great ‘team player’, loving the opportunity for feedback, another set of eyes, and a push when I’m stuck. Along with the respect that goes with any good team environment. I am a problem-solver skilled at prioritizing and managing multiple and simultaneous projects with proficiency and accuracy and am always able to meet deadlines. I have extensive knowledge in Adobe Creative Suite with many years of hands on experience, primarily InDesign and Illustrator and a good Photoshop knowledge bank. Word, Excel and Powerpoint have been important tools in my toolbox and I have excellent knowledge of all three. Thank you for your time and consideration. I’m looking forward to learning more details about the Graphic Designer position. I’m eager to meet with you and discuss how I can use my skills to collaborate with your team. Sincerely,
Robert Chamberlain
