Dear Hiring Manager,
As a professional with 15+ years progressive experience in Nutrition and Health Services, I am excited to submit my application for a Nutritionist position with your organization. My unique abilities and history of increasing leadership responsibility specifically suits me for the tasks involved in affecting positive impacts with your open role which I strongly feel is well aligned with my diverse experience and background. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated consistent success as a licensed Nutrition expert, analytical thought partner and organizational development leader, as a result of my talents for promoting a positive work culture while leading forward-thinking teams. I have a diverse background and experience in Nutrition, Dietetics, Food Science and the Food Service Industry. My supervisory and managerial skills are very detailed as evidenced by the outstanding performance evaluations I’ve received in the past. I am known to be proficient at counseling and my knowledge for nutritional facts for adults; children and infants are very thorough. Further, my extensive knowledge of the New York State WIC and SIS Programs has enabled me to multi-task on a variety of assignments in the WIC program. The diversified experience I possess with nutrition services for young adults and the elderly along with different levels of support for mentally challenged and development disabilities enables me to work with a wide range of populations. Arguably and most importantly, I have the acute ability to follow State and Federal Guidelines and Procedures to maintain a high standard of nutrition compliances.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. I look forward to the chance to provide more details as they apply to this opportunity, as well as how I’ve managed to be highly successful with every professional endeavor I’ve undertaken.
