Dear Hiring Manager,
I am exploring job opportunities with your company. As my resume
reveals, I've held a nurse aide certificate for four years and have hands
on experience in long-term care and sub-acute settings. I have three years
clerical experience in a medical and office setting. My experience also
includes working with those who have Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and
Huntington's and psychiatric/behavioral patients on locked-down units.
Although I only worked in a temporary capacity in The University of
Michigan's Department of Radiation Oncology, I had the opportunity to
observe healthcare professionals deliver exemplary care. Being a caregiver
is more than just my job title; I am a caregiver at heart. It has been my
pleasure working with all age groups and those with different needs and I
have learned what it means to be a well-rounded employee.
I would like to have the opportunity to interview for this position and
answer any questions you may have about my prior experience. Thank you in
advance for your kind consideration.
Sincerely,
Sharlah Dabney
