Cover letter and Resume S.Thompson

Thank you for the opportunity to apply for the design position at your company. After reviewing your job description, it is very clear that you’re looking for a candidate that is extremely familiar with the responsibilities associated with the role, and can perform confidently. Given these requirements, I am certain that I have the necessary skills to successfully do the job adeptly and preform above expectations.
I am a detail-oriented recent college graduate (3.7 GPA, Bachelors in Studio Art) from Georgia State University in Atlanta, GA. During my academic career, I also managed to accrue nearly 5 years of related work experience. I had the privilege of working for ProLink Volleyball Club as a coordinator, website manager, and designer in my free time, where I learned valuable professional skills such as payroll and accounting skills, customer service, training and development. In both my academic and professional life, I have been consistently praised as hard-working and driven by my professors and peers. Whether working on academic, extracurricular, or professional projects, I apply proven leadership, creative thinking, and organization, which I hope to leverage into the Artist role at your company.
