Curriculum Vitae
Of
Clinton Jurgens
I am a multi-award winning print designer for Men's Health magazine and after 6.5 years I have realised that I would greatly welcome the challenge
of moving to a new, exciting challenge at a company where my various skills can be utilised. After reading your job placement ad I believe that your
company could be that next step for me.
thank you
C Jurgens
