organizational and interpersonal skills make me an ideal candidate for this

I was previously employed with Fulton County Department of Family &
Children Services, in which I had the opportunity of gaining six months of
experience as an interim administrator, previous two years of experience as
a supervisor, and two years as a case manager. In my past experience as a
