Dear Ms. Smith: (use name if you know it)
I am pleased to enclose my resume for consideration of the school counselor position at Southaven High School. Upon investigation of this position, I believe that I possess the knowledge, experience, skills and talent to make a significant contribution to the success of the students.
In May 2009, I will receive my Master of Education degree in School Counseling from Delta State University, and I am looking for an opportunity to utilize my skills and knowledge.
In addition to studying such valuable courses as Consultation and Counseling of Diverse Populations, Play Therapy, Psychology of Learning and Crisis Intervention Techniques, I have learned a great deal about the profession through my internship opportunity at Greenville Public Schools. Further, I offer solid experience in the field through completion of my 440 contact hours to satisfy my degree requirements.
The school counselor position at Southaven High School is a replica of my interests and abilities. I am very excited about the possibility of joining the team and working closely with the students, families, faculty and staff members. To provide you with more information about my experiences and education, I have enclosed my resume with this letter. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Sigmund Bell
