To whom it may concern,

I am so excited to have the opportunity to send you a resume for the available position. I am very

interested in this position and believe that my education, internship, and overall experience are

appropriate for the position.

I completed my Bachelor of Science degree in Social Work with a minor in Psychology from

University of Montevallo in Montevallo, Alabama. As an outgoing student in Montevallo, I was on

the President’s List and earned several scholarship awards. I was also a part of two honor

societies, Alabama Arise, and the NASW Organization. Altogether, I have a strong academic

background in social work and psychology, and think that I could apply my combination of

knowledge and experience to this position.

I am currently working at Eight Mile Nursing and Rehab in Social Service. I am the part time social

worker assisting with everyday duties of the residents. So far, I helped complete care plan

assignments, psychosocial assessments, and direct intervention of the residents. I also interned at

Gift of Life (Maternity Care Program) in Montgomery, Alabama. I was a designated social worker

at OBGYN & Associates' doctor's office. I completed several home visits and initial enrollments

(15+ a week), writing psycho social assessments, and referring high risk patients to other

agencies when needed. I have also answered several phone calls, helped other care coordinators

complete tasks for their patients, and attended several public health learning opportunities. I

definitely would like to repeat that success within this agency. As for my previous employments, I

have a background in management position, excellent customer service, and being an excellent

team player.

I will call within five to seven business days to determine your interest and, if appropriate, to

arrange for a personal meeting.

Enclosed is a copy of my resume, which more fully details my qualifications for the position.

I am looking forward to meeting with you!

Sincerely,

Shakari Denise Beechem
