Profile Activity
To Whom it may concern,
I wish to apply for the position of Web Designer - advertised recently on the Worky.com recruitment website.
I am passionate about digital media, Web Design and have geared my tertiary education, internships and recent work experience towards a career in this exciting and rapidly growing industry. I completed a Bachelor of Digital Media at the Letterkenny Institute of Technology and have since been working as a part-time production assistant at the web and content development company Kells Media Productions (This is a voluntary position).
My key responsibilities include formatting and proofreading website content before publication, creating and maintaining publishing schedules, and sourcing and cropping photos and other graphical content. I also update text and images on client websites using a proprietary content management system (CMS)(Joomla 1.5). I also look after the day to day running of the office and fill out and apply for various grants for our movie production. I have just finished a DVD cover for a film 'Our Boys' and we've created a short documentry on the early history of Kells.
In addition, I have completed a one year internship with an organisation at the forefront of Digital Media – Clickstream Web Design Navan, Ireland. This full-time work placement lasted Seven Months, giving me the opportunity to not only develop skills in a range of areas, including proofreading, HTML coding and video editing, but also to learn first-hand the importance of teamwork in a fast-paced environment.
Furthermore, I have Studied Dreamweaver CS3 and all CS3 applications and own my own Mac and PC. I enjoy video editing and have a very good knowledge of Final Cut Pro.
I am hard working, flexible and thrive in a team environment and believe my skills would greatly benefit a dynamic and innovative company like your own.
My resume is attached and I look forward to discussing this position at an interview via Phone or in person.
Yours sincerely
