Please accept my application for the position of costume shop manager at the University of Hawaii, Manoa as advertised in OffStageJobs.com. After reading your advertisement, I believe I am uniquely qualified for the position, and look forward to learning more about your program.

I will be receiving my BFA degree in Theatre with an emphasis in Costume Design from the University of Minnesota Duluth May 2018. As part of my degree, I designed two main stage productions; assisted our faculty designer, Patricia Dennis, on two additional productions; and worked as a draper and wardrobe crew head on several other productions. I believe my experience in the areas of costume dyeing, millinery, and special crafts using veraform and celastic make me particularly qualified for your position. I also have experience designing make-up and hair.

Thank you for considering my application. Enclosed please find a copy of my resume and samples of my work. References will be forwarded to you under separate cover. My complete portfolio is available upon request.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Sven Olsen
