Dear Recruiter:
By way of introduction, I am a results-driven professional with extensive, diversified, and successful experience. Since 1996, I have been employed in progressively responsible positions with several well-known companies. Initially hired as a telemarketer/account representative with Legal Language Services, I have since progressed through various sales positions, and have even transitioned to a career in education, centered on youth development.
I have worked as a SAPIS Counselor (Substance Abuse Prevention Intervention Specialist) at P.S./I.S. 109 in Brooklyn, NY. There, I have been able to conduct youth development workshops, professional developments on resiliency for teachers, and conducted other pro-social activities for parents. As a member of District 22’s School Crisis Team, I have been dispatched and aided in crises in numerous schools in Brooklyn.
Although I am not limiting myself to a career within the educational field, I am seeking a position that will fully capitalize on the total scope of my experience while providing further career growth potential. I am confident that the skills and expertise I possess, coupled with personal initiative, proven professional acumen, and a committed work ethic would be of benefit to any suitable position within your organization. I have always dreamed of working within the pharmaceutical sales industry, but have never had the opportunity.
Since I have relocated to the Orlando, Florida area, after you have had the opportunity to review and evaluate my résumé and credentials, I would be pleased to meet and better determine how my background and abilities may best be put to work for you.
Sincerely,
Chris Cassagnol
