Re: Graphic Designer position
I am writing in response to your advertisement for a Graphic Designer on internet.
I have recently completed a trade certificate in graphic design at the Fiji Institute of Technology (Fiji Islands) and would like to make the best use of the skills developed during my university study.
In my previous position at Elite Printing Services (Fiji Islands), I started as a full-time senior designer and within 12 months was put in charge of the graphic design for two monthly magazines. In this position, I was able to apply the knowledge from my university studies in a work situation. I was responsible for layout, pre-press and the preparation of print files working closely with the senior editor, production staff and printers.
Over the past two years, I have become highly proficient in Adobe CS Suite on both Mac OSX and Windows XP. I am able to work under pressure to tight deadlines and ensure the work is produced at the highest level – and while juggling full-time study. In particular, I have extensive experience designing magazine pages, advertisements, brochures and flyers etc.
I enjoy working in a creative team and have the ability to communicate with managers and colleagues alike as my referees can confirm. As such, I believe I can make a significant contribution to your publishing team.
My resume is attached. I can bring my portfolio to an interview and look forward to the opportunity to do so.
Yours Faithfully
Mr. Kumar
