To Whom it May Concern:
Not only does hard work pay off in the world, but passion, drive, and enthusiasm for the job makes all the
difference with being successful. My love for Eastern medicine and my eagerness to learn more are qualities of
a thriving practitioner. As I vigorously searched for positions, I found Camp Lejeune to be a perfect fit and
with my dependability, motivation, and outgoing personality, I can be a great asset to the Camp Lejeune Base
and the community.
Dragon Rises College of Oriental Medicine has provided an in-depth program designed for future Doctors of
Oriental Medicine to effectively meet the diverse demands of the highly competitive and rapidly changing
health care industry. Through specific coursework, including 165 hours of extensive emphasis in
Contemporary Pulse Diagnosis and Contemporary Diagnostic Medicine, hours of interning, and dedication, I
have attained the skills necessary to lucratively address daily operations in this industry.
I am confident that my outgoing personality and disciplined work ethic are qualities that would undeniably be
victorious as a Doctor of Oriental Medicine. My aptitude for problem solving techniques, integrity, and
educated opinions would highlight the bold mission of Camp Lejeune and together we could accomplish
optimum health for your patients. After all, I am success- driven and will work extremely hard to achieve
results.
Enclosed I have attached my resume. I would enjoy the opportunity to discuss how my background and work
experiences might benefit Camp Lejeune and I shall make myself available for an interview at any time. Please
do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions about my resume. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Danielle Pechac
