As my resume indicates, I possess more than 6 years of professional experience in the fashion industry acquiring knowledge in the fields of merchandise and production.  In addition, I have obtained skills as a freelancer in the areas of design and graphic design as well. 

What my resume cannot exemplify is what sets me apart from other candidates.  Namely, my penchant for organization, my eye for detail, my ability to wear many hats, and my capability to perform in a fast paced environment. I also have extensive knowledge of apparel design and construction through many years as an independent seamstress, and I have a great level of proficiency in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.  I believe these characteristics make me a well-rounded candidate and can really benefit my future position.
