Dear Prospective Employer
I hope this letter finds you well. My name is Jess Winand, and I am writing to express my sincere interest in the available position at your company. I am a dedicated and hardworking individual with a strong work ethic and a proven ability to excel in learning new tasks with attention to detail. While my journey has had its challenges, including a past criminal history (DUI) from almost four years ago, I want to assure you that I have worked diligently to overcome these obstacles and have undergone significant personal growth. I am now a different person, committed to making positive contributions to both my professional and personal life. My work experience, coupled with my recent academic achievements at HACC, where I made the Dean's list, reflects my commitment to self-improvement and continuous learning. Although I am currently on a break from my studies, I am not far from completing my degree. I understand the importance of second chances and am eager to demonstrate how I have transformed my life. I believe that my skills, coupled with my dedication to personal and professional development, make me a valuable candidate for the available position. I would be grateful for the opportunity to discuss my qualifications further in an interview. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of contributing to the success of the business.
Sincerely,
Jess Winand
