Mr./Ms. ________________________________:
As a soon to be graduate of George Fox University with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology, with a
focus in Community and Families, I am seeking an opportunity to utilize my skills for working
with people with a passion to serve my community. After locating your posting for a MAC Lab
Instructor in THINK Together on your website, I knew I should apply.
My experience in retails as a sales associate increased my knowledge in customer relations,
which is important when developing rapport with students and their families. Communication is
an integral part of gaining trust with a community, and my time with Old Navy has provided
practical training in communication. My courses in Social Stratification and the Sociology of
Families, as well as my experience abroad, has allowed me to develop instructional skills with
diverse populations. I love the challenge and subsequent fulfillment of knowing that I have
helped someone learn something new, and that they are valued. Serving as the MAC Lab
Instructor would be mutually beneficial. Your organization has an excellent reputation for being
one of the nation’s largest and leading non-profit providers of after-school and out-of-school
learning programs. My education, experience, and motivation to excel will make me a valuable
addition to the team because of my ability to further promote the quality that built your
reputation.
I am confident that I am qualified for the MAC Lab Instructor position. Should you have any
questions before that time, you may reach me via phone at 123-456-7890 or by email at
first&lastname@gmail.com. Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
