Looking for Employment

I've applied for so many jobs after signing up for Reed back in February but have been a bit confidential on the blogging side, as it is a competitive market after all.

The covering letter set of Reed is as follows:

To Whom it may concern,

I would like to be considered for the position of Junior Graphic Designer, as advertised on Reed.

I am currently a third year BA (hons) Graphic Design student, at Leeds College of Art, with a particular interest within the Retail, Advertising and Packaging industry alongside brand and identity. Graduating in June, I have intentions of staying within Leeds. 

I am a very determined, self driven individual, thriving to put my foot in the Creative sector. I am very confident using the Adobe CS6 Package; Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign being where my strongest skills lie. I have a very positive, and enthuastic approach to my work, alongside being familiar with working to very tight deadlines; working with a range of both University briefs, and self initiated client led briefs. My current portfolio is driven by printing processes and finishes so I have high knowledge of print within the industry.

As a graduate, come June, I feel I can bring something new, fresh and current to the company and also bring a positive attitude and outlook to work. 

The opportunity of an interview would be much appriciated, to really communicate who I am, and what I'm about, but also to be able to show the extent of my work, and my Portfolio. Until then you can find my work here:
