dear__________________:

 

i am currently seeking a challenging career opportunity in a junior interior designer capacity and am submitting my resume for your review.  in advance, thank you for your time and consideration.

 

as demonstrated in the accompanying resume, my professional qualifications include four years of progressive interior design experience, plus an additional four years of fashion/graphic design.  i excel at identifying and addressing client-specific concerns, and am adept at presenting decorating and architectural detailing plans that close major contracts.  to add to my experience working for prominent architects and designers, i have also completed significant interior projects independently.  my artistic nature has consistently proven instrumental in my success at selecting color, fabric, furniture, features, and other finish materials to achieve the creation of a unique space.  additionally, i have strong experience in designing huge wall abstract-textural paintings and large posters for children s rooms, and i have authored and illustrated children s books.  to complement this background, i offer an m.a. in interior design.

 

as an employee, you will find me to be a driven team player committed to supporting you in achieving your objectives through superior performance.  i am confident that i could be a valuable asset to your firm, and look forward to interviewing with you in the near future.

 

sincerely,
