O’Reilly & Associates
Jobs at O’Reilly
101 Morris Street
Sebastopol, CA 95472

Dear Sir or Madam:

I am seeking an employment in the field of graphic design and web production. Therefore, I am applying for the position you advertised on the O’Reilly & Associates web site.

I have a broad range of interests, particularly in design and computer graphics, and significant linguistic skills, and my desire is to widen my exposure to the corporate world, where the variety of my qualifications could truly be utilized.

I am currently following the Web Development and the Applied Graphics Certificate Programs at Santa Rosa Junior College. I am conversant in a number of software applications utilized in desktop publishing. I am also interested in creating and maintaining websites. These skills paired up with my fluency in English, French, Italian, German and Punjabi, but also my solid professional background in the area of libraries, can certainly be used in a number of ways within your corporate infrastructure.

My experience in Library and Information Sciences evolves from two periods of employment and my area of specialization at the ESID, Geneva, Switzerland, one of the highly regarded European schools in the domain of Library Sciences and Documentary Information. For three years, I had been responsible for maintaining the subject indexing for an on-line database for the library coordination services at the University of Geneva, Switzerland. After my family and I arrived to California, my immigration status did not authorize my employment, and I had volunteered for two years in the Cataloging Department of the Ruben Salazar Library at Sonoma State University. Recently, after I obtained the work permit, I was hired as librarian at the same location. 

My Résumé is attached for your review. If you have any questions or would like to arrange for an interview, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am interested in your firm, and would welcome the opportunity to meet you and learn more about it. I appreciate your consideration and look forward to hearing from you. 

Sincerely,

Upi K. Struzak
