Dear Employer,
In response to your advertisement regarding employment
I have enclosed a resume for your review. Please consider this
letter as a formal document presenting my prior education and experience. I have a bachelor’s degree in Fashion Design & Production accompanied with a Studio Art minor. Over my past four years at Lasell College in Massachusetts I have furthered
my skills and become advanced in the
fields concerning fashion and all it entails, that being:
Photoshop, illustrator, PowerPoint, Excel Spreadsheet, CAD,
patternmaking, pattern manipulation, pattern grading, pattern draping, textile development, textile education, portfolio development, fashion design internships, presentation methods, storyboard development, mood/trend board development, fashion illustration (both hand/digital), swatch/color story development, rendering illustration of fabric, fashion history, haute couture sewing methods, garment cost sheet layout development, fabric buying, accessories development (millinery, handbags, gloves), methods of fashion merchandising, fashion show production, fashion show choreography, senior line development and thesis (eight garments), hair/make-up and verbal presentation skills.
Also, through attending a liberal arts college, I have dabbled in an array of diverse and thought-provoking courses concerning anthropology, writing, business, sociology, psychology, mathematics (geometry), history, nutrition, ethics and other art courses that fulfill my minor.
I believe during this time in my education that I am entirely ready to offer my exemplary skills to a company such as yours. As an employee I am both dedicated to my duties by being punctual, adaptable, compassionate, open-minded, competent and willing to work as much as possible to reach a certain goal laid out by a company.
Upon graduation I have been exceedingly determined on re-locating, wherever that may be. I have no contentions with working over-time and traveling,
the more work, the better!
May I arrange an interview to further discuss my qualifications?
I am available for an interview at a mutually convenient time.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Warm Regards,
Morgan A. Lagerberg
