To whom it may concern,
Hello. My name is Amy Lee Neral.
I am a confident, energetic, well rounded, and experienced individual looking for a positive and upbeat environment where growth opportunities are available.
You need a very involved person willing to go all out on projects within specified parameters. I have run sound and lighting for many events, been a prop fabricator and scenic painter, as well as a production designer, and I have been in charge of my own small crew of able-bodied peers. I have been building and working with power tools since I was a little girl and always took an affinity to it.
While acting as production designer, I had to manage a crew, take charge of design plans, show my vision through freehand sketches, and manage the books to make sure our productions met the budget requirements. (See page 5 for visual examples)
Working for you I will achieve not only my personal goals but also those of the companies involved.
I am a 4-H alumni and strive for excellence throughout my company, my community, my country, and my world. I am confident that I can be an asset to your team and would love to get a chance to sit down for an interview.
Attached is my resume. Links to examples of my work are posted on the cover page. Transcripts are available upon request.
Per chance I have the lovely honor of meeting you; I shall bring one of my production portfolios. I keep detailed binders of every production I have been on that way others may see the production from beginning to the end and how specific events may have changed the outcome of a production.
Thank you for your time. Sincerely,
Amy Lee Neral
