Mr. Lou Gorman
Director
Behavior Modification & Education Center
10160SM-37 Hwy
Lynn, MA 19050

Dear Mr. Gorman:

I am interested in the Instructor/Counselor position at the Behavior Modification and Education Center. I was informed of this job opening through The Job Seeker. My resume is attached for your consideration.

For the past two years I have been a volunteer for REAP (River Education and Awareness Program) at the Springfield Science Museum in Springfield, MA. While there I had the awesome opportunity to see students perform their first science experiments. The thrill of seeing their wonderment as the world broadens before their eyes is what has made me want to commit my life to an educational profession. I want to share my creativity, love of science and the environment with others. There is nothing like teaching without any walls and being able to give children the chance to perform hands-on work in that environment. The REAP program allowed me to gain invaluable experience both in and out of the classroom.

Over the past two months I have been traveling across the United States. I have visited and camped in many national and state parks. This experience was driven by my love of adventure and the environment. I have a strong passion to learn and share what I have learned with others. I am confident that my experiences and my personality would contribute greatly to you organization.

I am eager to speak with you about the contributions I am confident I can make at the Outdoor Education Center. I will contact you within the next week to see if a meeting can be arranged. You may contact me at any time at the number listed above.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Miller:

I am writing to express my interest in obtaining an entry-level position in your management-training program. My goal is to work for an innovative company that values creativity and high energy.

My four years as Business Management major and my experiences outside the classroom have provided me with an extensive background that will enable me to work productively in a variety of organizational and professional settings. My educational training in the areas of management and computers has provided me with the skills necessary to succeed in the world of business. As chairman of the New Student Orientation Program and a member of the 1996 Class Board, I have gained the skills that are essential in dealing with large groups of people from diverse backgrounds. Playing hockey has helped me contribute as a team member on and off the ice. In addition, my internships and job experiences have given me hands on experience in the fields of marketing and sales.

I am seeking a career that will further develop my business, organizational and communication skills. I would like the opportunity to put my energy and enthusiasm towards working for XXX Corporation. Thank you for your consideration of my application. I will call you next week to verify receipt of my resume and to see when we might discuss opportunities with XXX Corporation.

( Internship Position)

January 25, 2005

Mr. Alex Doubleday
President C.O.O.
Toronto Blue Jays
300 Bremner Ave.
Toronto, ON M5V 3B3

Dear Mr. Doubleday,

Our mutual friend, Mr. Harry Stewart, suggested that I contact you regarding a strengthening and conditioning internship with the Blue Jay organization. As my resume will illustrate, I possess practical knowledge and experience in two areas: cardiac rehabilitation and strengthening and conditioning. My background provides strong evidence of successful working relations in many environments and under ever-changing conditions.

My understanding of health fitness and how it relates to the physical condition of a team, stems from my experience as a student-athlete with the McGill University Football Team. As captain I led drills, built team morale and motivated my teammates. In addition, I was able to expand on my communication skills through press conferences, media relations, and public speaking engagements. Furthermore, my practicum experiences in both the commercial and corporate settings provided me the opportunity to apply my strong academic background to a variety of populations seeking to include fitness into their lives.

I will contact you within the next week in order to confirm receipt of these documents and explore the possibility of scheduling an interview. I am confident that you will find my qualifications to be of interest. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
