Human Resources Manager,

As of October 14, 2023, I have been sober for 31 years, only through the grace of God and a 12-step program, which I practice, daily. I would love to share this hope and strength with others that was freely shared with me. Today I am presently recovering from heart surgery and progressing well in my recovery. I have already earned an associate degree in General Studies with an emphasis on Substance Abuse Counseling and I maintain certifications in Human Services and Recovery Coach Specialist. I am currently enrolled at Indiana Wesleyan online, with five credits away from earning my bachelor's degree, in the same field. I will graduate on April 27th 2024. I moved back to the Chicago area for a position in this field of work. Are you available to talk with me to discuss what I can bring to this job so I can hear your expectations of the people you hire? If so, please call me at 708-***-****, so we can arrange a date and time that fits your calendar. Thank you very much for reading my cover letter and enclosed resume. I hope you will consider me for a job, which I am eager to accept.
