My name is Mary Wilson, and I am currently working as a Research Assistant at [Current Employer] in Los Angeles. I have been with my current employer for three years – a time which has offered exciting opportunities and professional growth.
I do, however, feel that the time has come for me to look for new challenges and take the next step in my career. For this reason, I was delighted to read about the Graphic Designer position at [Company Name].
I’m convinced that this job would suit me well and that I, in turn, would be a great fit for the job.
I would like to highlight three main qualities that I believe make me the right person for this position.
The first would be my experience. During my three years at [Current Employer], I was able to cultivate my interest in planning and illustrating and coordinating. This, in turn, allowed me to develop new skills in this area – skills that I would like to hone further, as a member of your team at [Company Name]. Furthermore, I feel that my experience in project management has contributed significantly to my overall development.
Secondly, I know that my educational background has prepared me well for a job at [Company Name]. I have a Bachelor’s degree in graphic design from Columbia University, and I have also taken a course in digital marketing.
Last, but certainly not least, I think that my personal traits and abilities make me the right person for this job. It is important to me that I always deliver high-quality work, and I know that my sympathetic and tolerant view of cultures different from my own has been appreciated by my previous employers.
Furthermore, I am strategic, and creative in my professional role.
I hope that this brief presentation has given you an idea of who I am, and what I can bring to [Company Name]. I feel strongly that I would be able to meet your expectations, and look forward to being called to an interview so that I might introduce myself further.
Sincerely,
Mary
