Dear Ms. Flores:
I am contacting you in response to your job posting for an Assistant Operations Manager for Sports Illustrated. My career experience involving production management in the jewelry industry and currently with print and digital production management at Condé Nast has given me the skill set to be an excellent candidate to work as a member of the production team.
Through hard work and conscientious perseverance I have successfully transitioned to work in the publishing industry for a major branded media company. My recent education has enabled my computer literacy and knowledge of the print industry so that I can easily communicate with and service the major departments within an organization as well as deal with vendors and provide strong customer service.
As a child, Time Inc. publications such as Time Magazine and Sports Illustrated were always on the side table in our living room waiting to be read. I had much preferred to learn about current events in the richly illustrated color pages of Time than a black print newspaper. It would be a privilege to work for the company that has been a positive influence for me and continues to strive to be that for others.
Please find my enclosed résumé with contact information. I greatly appreciate your time and consideration. Thank you.
