Human Resource Director:

I am interested in being considered for any opening that you have in social service, education, or case management. Most of my previous experiences have been in the fields of social work/counseling or education. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology with a minor in Social Rehabilitation through the criminal justice center at Sam Houston State University, and I am currently working on my MA in General Psychology. I am taking classes at the SHSU campus in The Woodlands two evenings a week, and I am seeking a position which would encourage and allow me to continue this process.

My professional experiences have included working for one year as a psychiatric case manager for the Texas Department of Corrections followed by eleven years of working as a counselor dealing primarily with substance abusers and their families. I have also spent eight years teaching children in various education settings. These have included both formal classroom education and tutorials with students ranging from preschool to high school. My most recent position was working for a privately funded social agency, providing emergency assistance for families in crisis. I worked with them for eighteen months, and then I decided to go back to school to pursue my MA. Unfortunately, the position I was in did not leave room for my evening classes so I had to resign. Now that I have completed over half of the required courses for my MA degree, I believe that I have reached a level where I should return to a professional position.

These positions have promoted skills that include a high level of communication and organization. I have learned how to relate to people on many different levels, and multitasking was a necessary requirement in all of my past positions. In addition, I have placed educational emphasis in both Science (31 semester hours) and Spanish (limited). I have gained computer experience through each position that I have held, and I have had no difficulty learning new skills in this area as they were necessary.

I am looking for a position in or around The Woodlands, Texas. I am seeking a fulltime position, and I am seeking an annual compensation of $38,000 annually.

I believe that my experiences and my commitment to learn new skills have prepared me to be an asset to your organization. If you agree, please call me at 281-***-**** to set up an appointment for an interview. Please feel free to call me with any questions or comments that you might have as well.

Thank you for your consideration,

K. Joy Kelly
