Dear Recruiter,
You may be wondering why a successful Supervisor with FedExand former real estate agent isinterested in a socialservice or
community support position.
I have come to a point in my life where I want to dedicate my skills and talent for the final 10-20 years of my
career toward enriching the community and advocating for social programs. Iam directing my search mainly
toward those programs I strongly believe in or that have touched my life in some way.
That being said, I know that time and money are especially precious in the nonprofit world so Im sure you have no time to waste
on someone who believes in the program yet lacks the necessaryskillsand motivation. Please take a moment to review my
qualifications. You'llsee that I have the required skills to transition into thisnewrole and the tenacity to succeed. All of my
customer service, marketing, organization and training skills will translate well into the responsibilitiesof this new role.And
motivating volunteersis closelyakin to motivating the self-employed salesagent,with whom Ihave had great success.
If you choose to interviewand hire me, you will not be disappointed.Iwould be a great fit with any sociallyresponsible and
community enriching organization andwould be very proud to tell people that Iam a part of a service oriented team.
I am very interested in meeting to review your needs and provide greater detail about my skillsand experience
during an interview. Please callor emailme at your earliestconvenience.
Thank you for your valued time,
Most sincerely,
Dawn Hamilton
