To whom it may concern

I'm writing to apply for the position of Clinical Social Worker. I am confident that my skills are well-aligned with the role, and that I would be an excellent fit for your organization. I am also a disabled veteran of the Air Force where I served for 7 years.

In my recent capacity as a Social Work intern for Liberty Community Connections and Saint Charles Senior Community Center, I was able to significantly expand my skill-set. My responsibilities for Social Work caused me to develop my skills in building relationships and my community organization skills in particular. I believe that these skills, as well as my Masters of Social Work degree make me an excellent candidate for Social Worker.

Sincerely,

Latif Davis
