Eugene here, I’m writing to express my interest the position of Casting Assistant / Associate, Costume Design Assistant, PA, Productions Coordinator or any other position vacancies with your upcoming production,

Most recently I held the position of Assistant to the Casting Director of a BEATS by DRE Commercial starring several major pro athletes. Prior to this I was Executive Assistant to the Casting Director and Consultant to the Costume Designer for a star studded feature film that is to be released in 2014 entitled ‘Blame it on the Hustle’. I have also recently held the position of Executive Assistant to the Producer of a television series that is currently in production.

Other recent experiences of mine consist of working with various companies within the fashion industry including a contemporary women’s wear designer, a bespoke men’s and women’s wear design house, a fashion magazine, as well as a couture jewelry design house. I’ve done everything within these companies, from fashion direction / costume design, to styling, to show production and coordination, to sponsorship, to marketing and PR, to social media management, to executive level & personal assistant work. I’ve also recently worked on set with ESPN filming a documentary piece for Ernie Grunfeld and Basketball Hall of Fame inductee Bernard King. I’m looking to make a career for myself within the creative industry as it is something that I am so very passionate about. Allow me an opportunity to prove my aesthetic and work ethic to you.

I produced the jewelry company’s New York Fashion Week F/W 2013 show. I coordinated press / media sponsors, models, venue, VIP guests… the whole gamut. I should mention that I also assisted with the production of Brooklyn Fashion Week. I assure you, if you give me the opportunity you will not regret it.

Prior to moving to New York I worked within the service industry professionally. While working in the service industry I acquired a solid set of skills that I feel will go hand in hand with the requirements of this position. I have experience as an office manager for a specialty retail company, as a general manager of a fine dining restaurant, and much more. I am therefor adept at building rapport with and offering rich experiences to perfect strangers on a daily basis. I am extremely professional, very organized, well written, and adept at developing relationships. I am by nature a very warm and personable person. I love and enjoy what I do and it shows!

I thank you kindly in advance for your consideration of me as a candidate for this opportunity. I implore you to reach out to me via phone at 413-557-8410 or via email at [email protected] once you’ve made the right decision. I look forward to hearing from you.
