Help with my Interior Design resume cover letter?

am an Interior Designer, specializing in Kitchen and Bath design. I have not worked for the last 18 months due to an extended maternity leave. I am currently looking for part-time employment. I have a really great resume and cover letter...if I was just looking for a kitchen designer position. With the current economy, my industry just isn't doing so well, in turn, not hiring. A few of the places in which I would like to apply are small, family-owned, one interior designer. I would make a great assistant to a designer or project manager. How can I word that into my cover letter without coming right out and saying " I would make a great assistant" or sounding like I'm begging for a job? The following is my cover letter. Please give me some ideas as to how I can improve it so I'm not pigeon-holed into just kitchen design, as I would take anything at this point. I really want to at least stay in the design industry, so even receptionist at a design studio, etc. would be great. COVER LETTER: Dear Sir or Madam, We live in a world where styles change constantly and fresh ideas are always in demand. Professionals in every field, especially interior design, must be aware of these changes and possess the flexibility and imagination to stay ahead of the trends. I have the training and ability it takes to produce compelling designs for clients. My associate’s degree in interior design and my work experiences have taught me how to bring ideas to life, on time and under budget. I also possess the clerical skills needed to aid a business in maintaining organization and efficiency. The enclosed resume elaborates on the details of my skills and experience. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to discuss how I could be a great addition to your business. Please contact me at the above telephone number or e-mail address with any opportunity you feel is compatible with my skill set. Thank you for your consideration, I look forward to talking with you. Sincerely,
