Dear Principal Grant:
I learned from the Career Center at DePaul University of a current
vacancy in your school for a secondary history educator. I am very
interested in Our Lady of Miracles and would like to be considered a
candidate for the opening.
I noticed the responsibilities listed on the vacancy announcement include
curriculum development. My varied professional experience is detailed on
the enclosed resume, but I do wish to point out that my background
includes study and implementation of curricula.
I feel my academic background and experience in history education would
permit me to make a strong contribution as a teacher at your school.
I am available for an interview at your convenience and can be reached at
773-222-2121. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Chris T. Compton
