Dear Sir or Madam,
The combination of my background education as Dental Hygienist from my native country, Colombia, extensive continuing education, and more than 10 years of experience in traditional and modern dental procedure techniques, with emphasis in computer assisted dentistry technologies and orthodontics will make me a great asset to your practice.
Recently, I decided to formalize my knowledge and experience in Orthodontics. Thus, I have now been granted the Specialized Orthodontic Assistant certification by the American Association of Orthodontics.
From my resume and professional recommendations you will be able to see that not only I am a highly knowledgeable and proficient assistant, but also, I am compassionate and hard working. I only set high standards for myself, and I am always willing to go the extra mile.
I hope that you will have the opportunity to review my resume. I look forward to having the opportunity to speak with you in greater detail about this exciting opportunity.
Yours truly,
-Yamilet Rvas-Nieto, SOA
