I believe that Blue Fish Graphics is an ideal company where I can become a responsible and active participant in the growing field of graphic arts marketing. I am confident that my skills and experience speak for themselves and that my qualifications are a good match for this position. My extensive and diverse coursework at Oxford allowed me to gain a broad understanding of and appreciation for the industry in general and the corporate goals and objectives of Blue Fish Graphics in particular. In addition to art history and marketing classes, I also studied arts management and was involved in several large-scale fundraising events on behalf of student organizations with which I was involved. These experiences taught me the importance of organization, communication, and flexibility. Often, ultimate responsibility for the effectiveness and success of the fundraising events fell to me. These rewarding experiences certainly paid off with the knowledge that I gained as a result. My previous summer work experience as a sales assistant for a local business provided me with a strong base of communication knowledge and helped me learn the importance of effective marketing strategies. I am willing and able to work on several projects at once, I can write about a diverse range of topics, I work quickly and efficiently, and Im sure that I would be an asset to Blue Fish Graphics. I have included a copy of my CV which outlines my background and experience in greater detail. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns, and I look forward to speaking with you soon.
