RE: Counselor/Case Manager

I enclosed my resume in response to a position for a position within your

corporation as a professional counselor. It appears to be a good match for

my life-long practice and I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this

with you personally.

My considerable experience as a well loved and respected counselor only

briefly summarized on the enclosed resume, testifies to the relation-ship

building and creative development skills administered in the past to

motivate constant change in all ages and cultures. I am confident in my

ability to execute objectives of the organization. My work with diverse

populations allows me to utilize innate abilities to recognize individual

needs and apply workable solutions. Of course collaborating with superiors,

colleagues and the community is my fortes.

With my experience working with individuals, groups, public speaking,

presentations, trainings and community work, I have well developed skills

for achieving success via stimulating cognitive abilities that lay the

foundation for lifelong development.

I hope you can see a good fit here for my making a significant contribution

to your already great organization and will give me a call. Thank you in

advance for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Jacqueline Jackson-BS/MHS
