Objective/introduction:
To obtain a permanent position in an integral practice that t ruly cares about their
patients. A place where I can become part of not only a practice but a
team/family that will allow me to do what I do best. That being: Giving 110% to not
only the practice but the patient as well. I am a people person and strive to portray
a welcoming, warm and helpful personality to ensure that each patient feels
comfortable and at ease. I realize that it is virtually impossible to make everyone
happy all of the time but I feel that an attempt to make a person smile is always
worth the effort. I have a positive attitude, a loving and caring personality and I love
to make people happy and genuinely care for people in general. I am self- motivated
and eager to learn and grow with new information.
I k now how vital the front office is to any practice as it’s the first and last thing that
an existing, new or potentially new patient will see at each and every visit. I t is a
m ust that you leave a warm, caring and helpful lasting impression on each and every
person you come in contact with, which I consider to be an asset of mine.
I t ry to avoid “negativity” and or “back biting” at all costs and when put in that
situation I remove myself from such. A motto I like to live by: Treat others the way
t hat you would like to be t reated.
I k now if given an opportunity that I will be an asset to your practice/family/team
and hope that I am given the chance to prove myself as such. Thank you for your
t ime and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
