Dear Employer,
I am looking for immediate hire into a productive and busy environment. My past
experience in customer service and within the health field while attending college developed my
work ethic and strong time management skills. In addition, I learn quickly and am able to
manage many tasks while following through to completion. My previous job working with a
client that I became a health proxy for has engraved a passion in me to help vulnerable people.
My experience working as a home health aide is what motivated me to obtain my Associates
degree in Community Social Welfare in order to help elderly and vulnerable people to survive in
society. I have always been a determined and acting member of the community. Enclosed, is my
resume outlining my qualifications and experience.
A personal interview to further discuss my skills and what I can do to assist your
company/agency would be greatly appreciated. I will follow up with you, or feel free to contact
me at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Shakima Worrell
