Human Resource Director:

I am interested in being considered for any position in your agency which would be a good fit with my level of experience and education. Most of my previous experiences have been in the fields of social work/counseling or education. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in psychology with a minor in social rehabilitation through the criminal justice center at Sam Houston State University, and I completed my Master of Arts in general psychology in 2013.

My professional experiences have included working for one year as a psychiatric case manager for the Texas Department of Corrections followed by eleven years of working as a counselor dealing primarily with substance abusers and their families. I have also spent twelve years teaching children in various educational settings. These have included both formal classroom education and tutorials with students ranging from preschool to high school. After teaching, I worked for a privately funded social agency, providing emergency assistance for families in crisis. I worked with them for eighteen months, and then I decided to go back to school to pursue my MA in psychology. While pursuing my educational goals, I decided to simplify my schedule by taking on substitute teaching and tutoring positions which worked well with my studies. My most recent position was as a Program Director for a residential treatment center that worked with patients who have suffered from various forms of traumatic brain injury. I am leaving this position in good standing, and I have been provided a letter of recommendation with the company’s best wishes for my future endeavors. These positions have promoted skills that include a high level of communication and organization. I have learned how to relate to people on many different levels, and multitasking was a necessary requirement in all of my past positions. In addition, I have placed educational emphasis on multicultural counseling and interpersonal communications. I have gained computer experience through each position that I have held, and I have had no difficulty learning new skills in this area as they were necessary. I am looking for a position in or around The Woodlands, Texas. I am seeking a full time position, but I would consider accepting a part time position based upon the possibility of it leading to full time employment in the near future.

I believe that my experiences and my commitment to learn new skills have prepared me to be an asset to your organization. If you agree, please call me at 281-***-**** to set up an appointment for an interview. Please feel free to call me with any questions or comments that you might have as well. Thank you for your consideration,

K. Joy Kelly
