Dear Whom it may concern,
 
I am currently seeking for full time employment in California. I would like to apply for available position at your company. I am confident that my skills and knowledge gained from my experience will benefit your company.
 
I received a Bachelor of Art Degree in fashion design at Chung-Ang University in Seoul, Korea. Also received my Associate of Art Degree in fashion design at the top of my class in Dean’s List recognition from the Art Institute of Seattle. While attending school, I participated in the art Institute of Seattle fashion show and won “Designer of the Year” award. 

After graduation, I worked as Technical Designer and Patternmaker at the well-known fashion companies such as Nordstrom Product Group, Rosa’s Apparel and Manufacturer, Target Korea regional office, Pacific Trail division at London Fog, Derek Andrew, Eddie Bauer and MAST Korea and Forever 21.  I am currently working at Kellwood company.
 
I have excelled in such subjects as writing specification, evaluation samples in fit & construction, computer drawing, computer pattern making, grading and marking. My experience has enabled me to excel in working well with others. Further more, I am a capable, reliable, organized, enthusiastic and hard working employee.
 
Thank you very much for taking the time to look over my resume and cover letter. I appreciate your consideration for employment and I will look forward to hearing from you soon.
 
 
Best regards,
 
Julianne Kim
