Aardvark swift

There was one job on a website from a company called Aardvark Swift in the centre of Leeds city

Unfortunately the job listing is no longer available, but the description was that they were looking for two animators with incredible eye for detail and willingness to work in team. It is something that I found very consistent with many job openings, that is the willingness to work within a team, this is why I edited my cover letters to enhance the section that describes my team playing skills.

I digress. The Email I wrote to Aardvark is as follows:

Hi Danny,

I saw your job listing on LinkedIn and thought I would get in touch. My name is Elliot Gascoigne and I currently live in Leeds. I am swiftly coming to the end of my three year course at university studying BA(Hons)Animation at Leeds College of Art. I am a very passionate animator with a will to keep enhancing my skills further which is why I got in touch. I may not have all the skills required for the job listing that you posted but I wanted to share with you my showreel and CV for you to take a look at just in case there was any chance you would consider involving me in your team, as I feel my passionate and friendly attitude would fit well within the studio situated in the heart of Leeds which I have come to love over my three year university course.

If there is any information you would like then just let me know 

Yours Sincerely

The reason why I emailed them was the fact that the email was the only point of contact I could find, there was no professional website that was clear to me. The reason I applied for the studio was the fact it was in the heart of Leeds which would have been perfect for me. It would be very ideal to work in Leeds to cut down commuting costs and time down and the fact I have come to love the city.
