Dear Petra Slugeňová,

After reading the job posting for your Graphic Design position, I couldn’t help but feel an instant connection to the role—it’s as if it was tailor-made for someone like me. But I’ll let you decide.

I’m Clint Gorman, a seasoned Graphic Designer, Animator, Marketer, and even a Web Hosting Administrator. With over 20 years of experience in the field, I have had the pleasure of working with numerous local businesses, helping them bring their visions to life through captivating design. If you’d like to have a glimpse of my work, you can find a few samples at:

Webglobe.com has a lighter, cleaner, very simplistic feel to it which gives it a very professional image and I can match my graphic design to fit your style and provide lots of new ideas while collaborating. It really sounds like fun for me.

In the field of web hosting, I actually ran my own hosting company called JackRabbit.host. The demand for our web hosting services grew, and eventually, another company approached me with an offer I couldn’t refuse. I made the difficult decision to sell the company in 2021. Unfortunately, I am unable to showcase the website design because the new owners did not maintain it to my standards which was sad for me to see.

But you can have a quick look at this video if you’re curious about the design. I teach over 7000 students worldwide, showing them how to build websites using JackRabbit.host:

If you’re not already doing it, providing website tutorials that help people showcase their ideas could be a great strategy to help build your company because you would know exactly what your clients are doing with their hosting accounts. In addition to gaining a higher ratio of lifetime customers, all clients who took my courses did not abuse the servers while clients who did not take the course were more prone to abuse and cancelling.

In addition to my graphic design expertise, I bring valuable experience in managing Google Ads and Facebook Ads. I have been working with a Canadian company called Signa Computers, where I have honed my marketing skills using psychology, split testing and conversion rate optimisation and executed successful campaigns. However, I am currently freelancing for them, and while they appreciate my contributions, they are not able to recommend me to other business owners due to concerns of losing me. Additionally, their scheduling practices often keep me working late, which leaves little time for me to spend with my family. Therefore, I am eager to join a proper employer that respects work-life balance, where I can contribute my skills and be off by 5 pm to enjoy quality time with my loved ones. Also, I want to be in a work environment where I can interact with Czech colleagues to enhance my social interactions and practice my Czech language skills, aiming to achieve fluency. I want to have fun in the office rather than being alone all day.

My wife showed me your job posting and it was exciting for me, given my extensive experience in both web hosting and graphic design. It feels like the perfect match, where I can not only bring my expertise in graphic design but also contribute my skills in web hosting management, support, marketing, and even animation.

I do animations for BONA, a floor refinishing company based in Sweden and the US. Here is an example of a video I created for them using video editing and animations with After Effects and Premiere Pro:

I really appreciate your time while considering my application. If you find my skills valuable, I would like to further discuss how my skills and experience align with the needs of Webglobe and I’m looking forward to the opportunity to meet with you for an interview.

Thank you Petra!

Regards,

Clint Gorman
