Dear Mr Mark

REF: Graphic Designer with Steve Mark (Apprenticeship)

I am very interested in the above vacancy and I would like to apply for the position. I have enclosed a copy of my CV for your consideration.

As you can see from my CV I have just finished studying media at South Downs College. Throughout the two year course I have developed skills and knowledge essential for graphic design work.
I have always had an interest in visual design and I enjoy creating pieces of work. I am confident with the software I use. My skills were initially recognised whilst in school when I obtained an A grade in GCSE Graphic Communications.  I feel that the skills I have could be adapted and progressed throughout the apprenticeship. I am highly motivated to learn and would be thrilled with the opportunity to work for your company for the beginning of my career in design. 

In addition to College, I have managed two part time jobs in retail. This work experience has given me the opportunity to work as a team, individually, and provide excellent time management when working on tasks such as stock replenishment. During my time at college, I have learnt to use important software in order to work on project work. I have also developed a passion for creativity and freehand illustrations. 

I have a drive to succeed and I am able to work well in a team and individually under pressure. 

Contact me should you require any references or any further information. I am available to attend an interview at most times each day. 

Looking forward to your response.

Yours sincerely,

Rosie Winslade
