Dear Hiring Personnel, I am currently looking for a new place to acquire new techniques and expand my knowledge to let my creativity flourish. Since earning my bachelor's degree in Fashion Design at the Institue of Art - Chicago, I have worked at various companies in the industry. Especially at my latest workplace, I assisted in the production of performance costumes from design to finish, and I believe I can bring this knowledge to your company in helping create highly functional activewear. My past experiences also include trend research, communicating with overseas factories and creating tech packs, creating samples, attending and working at international conventions, and working hands-on with various materials. I also have worked at a customs and logistics company, so I have very good knowledge of the flow of goods from overseas. I am looking for a new position where I can utilize all of my skills and knowledge I have amassed and grow even further. Thank you for your time and consideration. I will be more than happy to answer any more questions you might have about my experiences. I look forward to hearing from you and to discussing how I might be a good fit for your company. Sincerely, Rachel Santana
