RE: Substance Abuse Counselor
Dear Recruiter,
Your advertisement for an AOD counselor caught my eye, as I see it as the
next logical step in my professional development. I did however, take some
time off from my prior career to return to school for a new career in drug
and alcohol. During that time, I was able to develop my AOD skills through
interning and school. At this point, I now feel like I have the exact
qualifications that your company seeks. The attached resume details my
extensive experience and training. If you choose to interview and hire me,
you will not be disappointed.
Even though I've been out of the work force for a while, I have stayed
current with industry trends and found many opportunities to engage my AOD
skills as a Counselor. My previous experience working as a Substance Abuse
Therapist for several agencies have given me a well-rounded experience. I
have an excellent track record for being an enthusiastic and dedicated
worker in the in the field of drugs and alcohol. My expertise in this area
make a great addition to your team. If your agency is looking for someone
with qualifications and experience and a strong background in the AOD field
to join their team, I am the one. I look forward to hearing from you.
Please contact me at you earliest convenience to further discuss this
opportunity.
Sincerely,
Derrick Sprouse
