Please accept the enclosed synopsis of my work experience for such an important position as an expressed interest with your agency. I believe you will find my work history provides an array of services which includes, but not limited to stable employment and housing. My year of relevant work history uniquely qualifies me to provide such important services.
My years of working as a Director with Non- Profits have challenged me to “become highly effective” in developing a variety of programs to serve clients and our community.
I have worked in environments where dealing with complex issues and crises were a common occurrence. I developed programs that were designed to provide information and training that assisted clients and staff in overcoming barriers and developing meaningful skills. In addition, the programs I coordinated and implemented also necessitated the wearing of many hats: Vocational Counselor, Mental Health /Substance Abuse Case Manager, Clinical Case Work Supervisor, Placement Specialist, Planner, investigator, liaison, supervisor, and administer among other duties.
Furthermore, I have a work style that fosters teamwork, reflects personal strength, patience, and common sense. My knowledge of human nature and people from various cultures and socioeconomic background is a powerful tool in dealing with client issues. I also possess strength in interpreting and enforcing policies, procedures, and regulation that will also aide in the program’s success.
My travels, experiences, and studies have afforded me numerous opportunities to embrace the field of social service. In addition, it has allowed me to service people from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds and gain a solid understanding of the true meaning of “giving something back” to a population that has been underserved. Working with a diverse population is a measuring tool on what legacy I leave behind and the decisions I make today.
I relay to you the enthusiasm with which I look forward to supporting your community goals.
I am happy to answer any questions that you may have regarding my experience, etc. Please feel free to contact me at 510-***-**** cell.
Regards,
Mable Jackson, B.A.
