To Whom It May Concern:
I am seeking the advertised position with your organization. I have
a Bachelor of Arts Degree in History from West Virginia Wesleyan College.
Recently, I obtained an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Applied
Geography as well as certificates in Cartography and Geographic Information
Systems and Geographic Education from Montgomery College-Rockville,
Maryland.
After graduating from college, I worked as the Executive Assistant to
the Deputy Executive Director at a local non-profit organization for two
years doing a variety of administrative tasks. Following this position, I
decided to get an Early Childhood Education Certificate and worked at
several local childcare centers and private schools. After my childcare
experience, I did a variety of part time assignments to gauge my long-term
interest in the field. I then decided to return to school and pursue the
Associates of Applied Science Degree in Applied Geography.
In addition to my degrees and certificates, I hold advanced
certification in the suite of Microsoft Office applications, specifically
Word, Excel, Access and PowerPoint. I have a thorough knowledge of the
Internet, and I have moderate reading/ speaking skills with the Spanish
language. My experience includes numerous hours of community service with
non-profit organizations. I am a lifetime member of Gamma Theta Upsilon
(Theta Eta Chapter) the international honor society in geography, where I
served as GTU and Geography Club Liaison.
I made $25,000 a year during my tenure at Community Family Life
Services. I am flexible to whatever the starting salary is for this
position. I would appreciate the opportunity to interview for the
advertised position. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Respectfully,
Mariah Bibby
