ASSISTANT PREPRESS SUPERVISOR
SENIOR MAC OPERATOR
Dear Sir,
I understand that there is an operating in your establishment for a person with my
qualification and I am taking this opportunity to inquire if you could offer me this
post. I am enclosing my detailed curriculum vitae for your scrutiny.
I have been able to advance in my career through demonstrated initiative and the abili-
ty to work effectively under pressure. In my most recent position, as a SENIOR MAC
OPERATOR to the Prepress of a reputed Printing Organization in UAE, I have had the
opportunity to work independently in a complex environment which has strength-
ened my communication and organizational skills.
Look forward to hearing from you in order to discuss this opportunity in further
details. I can be reached at 050 - 8019182
Thank you very much for your consideration.
Your Sincerely
Chandika Thushara
