To Whom it May Concern

I am writing to express my interest in joining your team. I studied Clinical/Counseling Psychology in California, however I am an Administration-Human Resources Manager in Buenos Aires, where I moved 10 years ago. I am actually planning to move back to the United States within the next few months and I asking to be considered for your Counselor position. My passion for client service is equally matched by my experience in it, and I am confident that I can help your schools meet any challenges it faces in the future. I am presently employed as a Administration-Human Resources Manager for a Marine Loss Adjuster Studio in Buenos Aires. Where I have gained a reputation not only for my impressive work rate and integrity but also for my communication skills. The attached resume will provide a more complete overview of my accomplishments.

However what it may not show is that I am a self-motivated individual, who is able to perform well under pressure & who can bring to the table solid capabilities in areas such as fluid verbal English / Spanish communication, & travel passion.

Currently I am looking to go back to my ideal job, that is working with students and their families in a school environment; therefore, I would like to arrange an interview with you so I can explain in more detail the contribution I can make to your Schools. I appreciate you taking the time to review my credentials and I would like to thank you for your time and consideration. Yours sincerely,

Andrea M Morris, MS.
