To: Employment Recruiter,

I am highly interested in consideration for a position in the human service

and social work field. I am looking for a position that allows me to make

meaningful contributions that benefits your organization. I have experience

working with children and adults with one diagnosis or a dual diagnosis of

Intellectual Development Disability (IDD) and Mental Health (MH).

I have completed a master's degree in Social Work from Edinboro University

of Pennsylvania. I am currently in the process of pursuing a professional

social work license. I have acquired in-depth knowledge of symptoms and

treatment for a diverse population through course and internship

experiences. I also have supervisory and administrative capabilities. Not

only have I completed and participated in several special education and

social work courses which gave me the skills to be professional, flexible,

organized, and motivated; I have been in the field of special education and

social services since 2007. I am equipped to work with individuals who have

disabilities ranging from mild to severe, as well as the general public.

In addition, my knowledge and experience with mental health and

intellectual disabilities enables me to work with a variety of individuals.

My motivation as well as energy ignites me to work hard and accomplish

goals.

I have enclosed my resume for your evaluation; I hope to further discuss my

qualifications. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Respectfully,

Theresa Taylor
