Dear Hiring Manager,

As a Desktop Publisher with 3 years of client project experience, I apply with enthusiasm for this opportunity.

I am currently a Desktop Publishing Specialist at Halliwell & Co, where I provide document formatting and publishing support to a wide variety of business and academic clients. After assessing their individual requirements, I develop templates and shells, incorporate written responses into the master file, monitor file configuration, and finalize electronic files while ensuring content and formatting are of the highest quality. This builds upon my 18 months as Desktop Publishing Associate at Rhubarb Press, where I worked on chapters of a software user manual for a global client.

In addition to my experience, I hold a Bachelor of English. I consistently receive excellent feedback from clients for my meticulous attention to detail, ability to quickly comprehend their needs, and for delivering superior work often ahead of schedule. Per your requirements, I am an expert user of Adobe InDesign, Scribus, PageStream, and QuarkXPress.

I have loved my time at Halliwell & Co. As my workload has decreased considerably due to the pandemic, I now seek a new opportunity in a fast-paced environment where quality work is valued.

Please find attached my résumé for your consideration. Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you regarding next steps.

Yours sincerely,

Emma Wall
