HOLIDAY 2012

Dear Sir/Madam; In my fantasy, this is what happens: As soon as you read this you grab the phone and call me, beg me to work for you, offer me lots of money and my own office with a great view. But it's early-  I shouldn't be starting the day with delusions. So instead I am giving you the following reasons to hire me: 1. I have had a decades worth of work experience in the retail industry ranging from fashion design to buying and merchandising to operations manager. I’ve even had the opportunity to freelance as a consultant and stylist and I also have a background in teaching fashion.  2. I’ve worked under some of the top local brands and my design exposure can range from denim for men, women and children to plus-size clothing and most recently sportswear and swimwear which even includes surfgear for men and boys.  I can confidently say that my forte in general is "RETAIL".  I have had the fortune to gain extensive exposure dealing in garments which provides me with an exceptional ability to conceptualize a formidable and commercially viable collection for any brand, be it basic or athletic, edgy or sophisticated.  My most valued advantage is the potent blend of creative insight and business savvy, which provides me a comprehensive awareness of the target market.  Speaking as a professional, the extensive training I have gained has enabled me to become more assertive and assured, results-oriented and an even more efficient individual with solid work ethics. I have attached my resume so you can have a brief overview of my biographical information.  You can also take a peek at a few samples from my portfolio online thru: www.picturetrail.com/kcompuesto Thank you so much for you time and I will be looking forward to hearing from you so we can further discuss my qualifications.  Respectfully, Kathleen J.
