Graphic Designer Positions

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am Irish, native English speaking, and I have been living in Switzerland since the 5th September 2005. I have some French and I am taking an intensive French language course in Fribourg until the end of September.

I would like to apply for a position as Graphic Designer in Switzerland. My last employment was as a Graphic Designer in an Advertising Agency in Dublin, Ireland. I am fluent in the design software Quark Xpress, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign and I use Acrobat Professional and Quickcut on a regular basis. I am also fluent in the use of Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel. I had sole responsibility for three client accounts, and I liaised with them daily. Before that I worked as a Graphic Designer and Instructor/Trainer in a design company and training centre, where I worked for three years and gained experience in art direction, training, and leadership skills.

In 1999 I received a Postgraduate Diploma in Graphic Reproduction Technology in DIT Bolton Street, Dublin, where I studied Graphic Design, Pre-press Technology, Typography, Printing, and Print Finishing. In 1998 I completed a Degree in Fine Art in DIT Mountjoy Sq., Dublin, where I studied Painting, Printmaking, Photography, Drawing, and Sculpture, these subjects encompassed the fundamentals of color, composition and layout.

I am very hard working, outgoing and approachable and I enjoy both working independently and as part of a team. I have excellent time management and communication skills, and can prioritize tasks and meet deadlines successfully.

I feel that with my varied experience and skills I would be an asset, and I would welcome an opportunity to discuss a position.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Feena McCarthy.
