So I've been doing freelance for a while, and though I might try out working for an actual company. What are some things that should be mentioned in my cover letter?
Here is what I have so far: The first sentence is from an old coverletter, obviously:
To Whom It May Concern,
I was excited to read about the Web Developer opening on the Dice web site dated September 4, 2008. In reviewing my resume, you will find that my intensive background and experience in Flash, HTML and the Adobe Suite will prove to be an asset for your company. My years of college experience and my short time of freelance work for private clients in animation and web development make me a worthy candidate for this position.
My current work in this area, which can be viewed through my on-line portfolio (ficodesigns.com) clearly parallels the qualifications you are seeking. My specific areas of expertise include Adobe Creative Suite and Autodesk Maya.
My expertise includes an ability to work with both Macintosh and Windows environments. In addition, I have a minor in philosophy, which I consider a transferrable skill to this field especially in my ability for critical thinking, problem solving and sound reasoning.
An interview may be arranged at any mutually convenient date. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
Sincerely,
One heck of a badass
(Just kidding about that last part. )
