To Whom It May Concern:
I am pleased to present my resume for your consideration. I possess a
Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Vanguard University of Southern
California. I moved to the US from Scotland in 2004 to attend college on a
full athletic scholarship. During my time in college I played competitive
soccer and learned valuable leadership skills as a captain of my college
team. I successfully achieved a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, and
applied myself in several high school coaching positions.
After completing college I took a personal sabbatical in order to file
immigration paperwork. During this time I have served as an in-home
personal assistant. Now that my paperwork is in order, I am very interested
in furthering my career with such a renowned company. With the skills and
passion I possess, I am certain that I will be a valuable asset to your
institution.
Thank you,
Andrew Elliott
