Designing flexible and adaptable estates for the digital revolution
Teacher CV and Cover Letter Seeking New Position
1. `
COVER LETTER
29 November 2016
To whom it may concern,
At this time I am teaching at primary school level, at a Montessori farm
school in East London.
I am highly skilled and trained, and have a wide variety of experience.
You will find me able to work under pressure, good at problem-solving,
and thinking “outside the box”. It has also become a habit in these
current financial difficulties, to do as much as possible on a “shoe-
string” budget.
I come well-recommended as someone who always gives 100% to
tasks.
Although qualified as a teacher, I have experience in other fields –
book-keeping (basic), office administration, maintenance and
management (various). My work in education has, however, provided
me with a wide range of capabilities, in many areas - organisational,
resourcing, management and administrative.
Although I enjoy my current position, it is a small school and I find the
salary very prohibitive, as it is under minimum wage. It is for this
reason I am applying for other positions.
I am highly flexible and learn quickly. You will find me a good
addition to your concern.
Please contact me between 1:30pm and 2:00pm, or after 4:30pm.
Regards,
Bee Tucker
P.S: This includes only a few of my documents – as the data size makes emailing difficult – they
are available in hardcopy should you be interested.
