Mrs.
Dear Hiring Manager,
I am enthusiastic about searching for a preschool teaching position in your area! My family and I will be
making a major lifestyle change by December of 2015; we will be transitioning from Active duty military life to
the civilian sector, and I would love to share the knowledge I have gained from Fresno Pacific University to your
preschool or childcare setting. I possess the necessary skills required to safely and proficiently lead young
children in their day to day activities; I am also organized, self-driven, and energetic.
Becoming a preschool teacher for your center is a magnificent way for me to combine my background in early
childhood education and exceptional skills in teaching.
As you can note from my resume, I obtained my bachelor’s degree in early childhood development from Fresno
Pacific University; I was able to learn about child care strategies and teaching preschool children about the
world. I have the potential to become a key member of your teaching staff by utilizing my strengths;
 Demonstrated the ability to work with children in groups or individually depending on the requirements
of children and the subject matter
 Able to organize activities so children can learn in relation to the world, explore interests, and build up
talents
 Highly skilled in planning and carrying out a set of courses that targets diverse areas of child
development, including language, math, and social skills
 Proven ability to work with children from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds
I would be more than happy to arrange a time in which I could travel to Cedar City from Lemoore, California to
meet with you in person. If you need any additional information or have any questions, please call me at (505)
320-7914, or email me at jlf12@fpu.edu.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Jaime Finkbeiner
