Dear Human Resources Director:

Your posting attracted my attention; after reading your listing I noticed the si
milarities
between your needs and the skills I have acquired. I graduated from Devry Univer
sity,
with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems with an emphasis on W
eb Design, in June of 2007. Through my course-work, I have created three Web sit
es, and worked with languages such as ASP.NET, MySQL, HTML, XML, and programs su
ch as Dream-weaver and Flash.
I am also experienced in illustration, both freehand and using such programs as
Photoshop,
and Illustrator. I’m published in the Raytown Post, in a weekly political cartoon
called Point-Taken, for viewing http://www.theraytownpost.com/category/editorial
s/cartoons/
I also have many other works available for viewing at my Web Site
http://pointtakengraphics.net/default.aspx.
In addition to web design, I have experience in Instructional Design, having des
igned seven interactive e-learning courses using Lectora course authoring softwa
re, for The Corridor Group. These courses are made available to thousands of sub
scribers across the United States. I used my technical writing skills to documen
t these procedures in manuals and assisted in writing the contract, proposal, an
d product definitions for the courses that were to be presented to the consumer.
I would like an opportunity to meet with you and discuss what I can bring to you
r company.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Gerald G. Schwarz
