Resume of
TODD HANLON
September 23, 2009
Dear Sir or Madam:
The purpose of this letter is to express interest in position as web designer. Recently, I completed an internship as an Editorial Assistant where I was published in a trade magazine for the online advertising and marketing business. In college, I specifically studied branding, web design, graphic communications, desktop publishing and Internet courses that have helped me to become a competitive applicant. I have also worked in upscale French restaurants, where I learned excellent customer service skills.
In June 2008, I graduated Hunter College with a B.A. in Media. I would like to manage a design firm in the future and have chosen to continue studying at New York University. This year, I will be working on a Master of Arts in Graphic Communications Management and Technology.
On my resume, there is a link to Bright Ideas Design, a small business that I am running. Please review the portfolio along with my resume.
Best Regards,
Todd Hanlon
