My background starts in technology and art. I have worked tech support and takin art history classes in Italy.
I have worked in advertising for furniture and grocery companies. Because so much of the print design has gone away I
have become interested in software. I want to continue to make beautiful designs with software. I taken yoga teacher
training and taught yoga classes along with making yoga clothing. I think that combining my graphic design skills and
front end developer training will let me make beautiful designs. I am looking forward to joining a team that can utilize
my creative and software skills to make great software. Looking for a position in the Centennial CO area preferably.

These sentences seem to run in to each other making it hard to read as a fluid paragraph. If you were to say this outloud to someone, it might not come off as you intended. Make it more of a story:

  1. Where did you come from, i.e. "My background starts in technology and art. I later became a yoga instructor and did advertising for a furniture company..."
  2. How did you find software design? Why did you pick this?
  3. How do your past skills fit in with your new career journey?
  4. Where are you going? What do you want to be doing? It can be as vague as, "Software design has helped me discover a career that consumes all my passions, I can't wait to join a team that allows me to do X, Y, and Z."
