Cover Letter & Resume-

Portfolio Available Upon Request-


Dear Human Resources Manager,
I am submitting my resume for your review.  I am looking for a design/drafting position where I could apply and expand my current skills.  I feel that my diverse experience will be of great benefit to a design team.
My job experiences vary from AutoCAD designer (drawing as-built home plans) to sales manager, administrative support and also some hands-on construction.   I have a strong work ethic; I am able to multi-task and stay on target with deadlines.  If you’re looking for an energetic, enthusiastic, generally happy individual, I’m your woman!
I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you, to show you my portfolio and discuss how my skills might meet your needs.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
