I am a second year student studying a Honours Bachelor Degree in Fashion (Concepts and Communication) at Leeds College of Art. I am looking to gain valuable work experience with a professional company and would appreciate the opportunity to work with your firm. This company appeals to me, as you are a creative, innovative and exciting establishment who could offer me the opportunity to work as part of a reputable team on various projects. I am fully aware of the standard of training you could provide, as well as the opportunity to work on exciting fashion projects. I am extremely passionate and driven with a keen eye for Fashion Styling, alongside a huge passion for fashion writing As you will see from my attached CV, I believe I have the necessary skills, along with the commitment and enthusiasm to both contribute and benefit from a placement with your company. Although I lack relevant work experience I have experience of team working. I work as part of a team of 5 in my previous job as a customer assistant. I gained valuable communication, team-building and organisation skills in this role. One of my current university modules is a team project and this also involves a presentation of my work. I am proficient in all Microsoft packages and have designing experience with Adobe software. In my spare time I am an Artistic Roller Skater, in which I have achieved British Champion status many times, and also represented my country in the European Championships. I have been a dancer in many local productions, alongside doing set design, fashion design and styling for these productions. If you are in a position to offer me a placement I am available from March 31st to May 2nd.
 Thank you for considering my application. Please contact me if you require any other information.

Yours Sincerely Jessica Higgins
