To Whom It May Concern:
After graduating high school I briefly attended college in pursuit for a career in education, but I soon left to experience other paths. However, I never lost my thirst for knowledge, and have since earned my associates degree and am one semester shy of my bachelor's degree in history. The time I spent after my brief college stint did not go to waste. In that time I acquired the skills to lead people as I did in a supervising position, and later strong communication and organizational skills by working with individuals with disabilities. I truly feel these skills are of the utmost importance in the work place today, and combined with my studies I completed when returning to college, I am certain that your company would benefit by adding me to their staff. I am very eager to discuss my skills and qualifications with you further by scheduling an interview or hearing from you soon. I can be reached at 716-***-****, and I greatly thank you for your time and consideration.
Respectfully yours,
John F Jankowiak Jr.
