Chicago Printing and Suburb Web Graphic Design Resume

Resume

Dear Employer:

My name is Nathan Pernia. I am inquiring regarding the position you have available. I am a graphic designer by background. But, as you will see, I have expanded my skills to include a plethora of skills.

I just wanted to give you a little relevant synopsis about my background. While employed full time as a Marketing Director, a former employer asked me to work with them as a consultant.

To make a long story short, I soon realized that for most companies, a full-time creative marketing staff is almost unnecessary. That’s when I offered my services to other companies on an as–needed basis.

Today, most of my customers, are just that––repeat, on-going customers, who have realized that this type of relationship is efficient and a wise option. Please consider this arrangement for your company. I am confident that you too will find logic in the idea.

Objective

To assume responsibilities as THE creative source for companies on a contractual basis.
