Re: Coordinator of Academic Support Services
Dear Ms. Jacobs:
Although I do not have the required years of Academic Advisor experience as stated on the TCCD website, I will
complete my Master’s in College Student Personnel and I have over twenty successfulyears working with students
from diverse academic, socioeconomic, and cultural backgrounds.
After reviewing the Coordinator of Academic Support Services position and spending a semester Practicum in the
Academic Advisor department shadowing Marjeena Burge on TCCD’ Northeast campus, I feel this is the position is
an excellent fit for me based on my education and skills.
I feel strongly about the role of academic advising pays in the community college, particularly in planning,
scheduling,and assisting individuals with their classes and degree plans.Additionally, I am an active member in the
National Academic Advising Association. In addition, I have a bachelor's and Master’s degree in Education with an
emphasis in Social Sciences and Workforce Development.
I have strong organizational skills and extensive computer knowledge and skills. I am familiar a number of
application used by TCCD, such as WebAdvisor,Datatel, Word Processing, Outlook, Excel, Access,and
PowerPoint.
I have the confidence to make a number of public presentations due to my teaching experience and activities with
the League of Women Voters. In addition, although I know some Spanish, I am taking Spanish classes in order for
me to better communicate with Spanish speakers.
I look forward to meeting with you to discuss my background and desire to work in this field. I have enclosed my
resume and curriculum vitae for your review. With your permission, I would like to follow-up in 2-3 days to set-up a
time to talk about this position.Thank you,in advance, for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Jeane Grisham
