Remember me? I'm Jonas* and I'd like to (re)submit my application for your new UI Designer position.

We last talked during the winter of 2010.
Here's what I've been up to since.

So, why should you consider me for a second time?

• After our conversation in December, I acknowledged some of the weaknesses in my experience and began to address them by pursuing new kinds of work.

  I partnered with creative agencies, learned more technologies, and honed my design practices — mostly in addition to my full-time gig, where I've also taken on some large projects.

  I'm not sure if six months of diligent work will make much difference in my viability as a candidate. At least, I hope it demonstrates that I'm not complacent, and I'm willing to do what it takes.

  I already have a lovely job that I enjoy doing, but I don't want to settle for making good things — I want to make amazing things. I still believe I can do that at 37signals.

  Want to talk? Here's my email.

  Thanks again for your time and consideration!
