Hello,
My name is Brad Golden and I am seeking employment with your company as I am relocating to the area. I am forwarding my text based resume for your consideration (a graphic based resume is available for download at www.bradgolden.com). I am a digital artist with broad-based skill sets including 2D/3D illustration and animation, photography, videography, as well as graphic and Web design. I am incredibly passionate about continued learning [my bedside reading is software manuals] and creating photorealism in my work.
I have read the description of what you are looking for in a new hire. I believe that I am the kind of person you desire and with the talent that you require. What am I looking for? I'm looking for a creative environment, where I can be part of a team of highly talented people - a place where I can stretch and push myself to new limits. I am looking for fair market compensation for my talent and hard work and as a family man, properly provide for my wife and children. Any perks beyond that is icing on the cake.
I am a former Marine and am proud of my service with the Marine Corps. Through their excellent training I've learned the importance of teamwork, professionalism, being both self-disciplined and self-motivated and being accountable to those around me. Your company creates amazing work and I want to 'enlist'!
Given the opportunity to be added to your team, I know I would be a valuable asset to your phenomenal organization. I am submitting to you as my demo reel samples of my renderings and animations, which can be found online at http://www.bradgolden.com and multiple examples of my web and graphic design work can be viewed at http://www.hiredgunstudios.com. I created all the imagery, animation and website designs seen on both sites. I can provide additional samples and references if required.
Thank you for taking the time to review my application.
Kind regards,
Brad Golden

p.s. I am hopeful should the position call for a college degree that my portfolio, extensive experience and my having served four years as a United States Marine will suffice.
