To whom it may concern,
Please accept the attached resume as an application for employment.
I am a student with Georgian College – Graphic Design program – currently on the Dean’s List. I
am also a Georgian College graduate with a Diploma in Georgian’s Fine-Art Advanced program. I
am interested in obtaining a job within your organization because I feel it will play to my strengths,
as well as expand my experience.
As a Graphic Design student, I have working knowledge of Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop,
InDesign, Dreamweaver and Muse software packages. Projects I have completed to date include
magazine layouts, advertisements, photographs, designing websites. In addition, I have achieved
independent contracts to design two company logos and one logo for a sports team in Barrie.
Currently, I volunteer at Georgian College as a Peer Mentor as well as the Graphic Designer for the
group. I also work for the Georgian College Student Association, in a Director Role. Using my skills
to expand in my graphic design skills as well as marketing experience, I use my knowledge as a
team leader as well as a team member to execute events and ensure overall events are successful
for the students at Georgian College. I am also a part-time Sales Representative at Pier 1 Imports.
Using my positive attitude and excellent communications skills, I work to provide customers
with an enjoyable shopping experience – and customers responded to this by taking the time to
advise my managers about the high level of satisfaction they had in me. My attitude and outlook
also enable me to work well in a team environment where I have an excellent rapport with both
management and colleagues. I can be trusted to conduct myself in a professional manner and
represent the company well at all times.
I am a dependable and responsible young adult ready to take on new challenges. I am also
adaptable and willing to take on any job. I will work hard to do the best that I can on any task
assigned. I am a quick learner, not afraid to ask questions to make sure that I perform to the full
expectation of my employer. With my level of maturity and dedication, I feel that I can be given and
job and trusted to complete it without constant supervision.
As you can see in the attached resume, I have acquired diverse skills. I have acquired significant
leadership skills within both workplace and academic careers. I know that if I am given the
opportunity, I will meet all the expectations you have for an employee. Thank you for your time
to read my letter and attached resume. I look forward to having an opportunity to discuss my
qualifications further with you.
Respectfully yours,
Nichelle Lewis
