Dear LinkedIn Viewer,
I am interested in a job opening that is involved in the field of Physical Therapy. My consideration for the job stems
from the amount of shadowing hours that I have, the drive of an in school student, and the overall experience of
having the job to help me in to a Physical therapy program. These characteristics can favor and help you in the
clinic because my dedication to the job is a prime opportunity that should be highlighted in a PT program interview.
Also, I have a genuine interest toward the job stemming from the personal achievement of gratification that it offers
when working with another person to obtain a short/long term goal. Physical therapy is an occupation that I pursue
because of the unique reward and results that exercise programs and physical activity offers to the human body.
Being able to prolong the life of someone or give the person the chance to regain the ability to walk is like a rebirth.
That of which, it helps me learn more about my self-reflection with each person that walks into the clinic. This
opportunity is crucial to me and will help me gain life lessons in an area that I have learned about in classes for
many years. I am ready to take on the challenge and fight along detrimental causes such as obesity, stroke,
cardiovascular disease so that the United states can become a better nation. Allowing me to have this job would
allow for my potential to be released with you as my mentor. So I hope that for these reasons and the display of my
strengths listed below that you consider me a potential candidate for a physical therapy technician or physical
therapist. Thank you for this opportunity and I look forward to working alongside you in the physical therapy
outpatient and inpatient clinic.
Sincerely,
P. Brandon Taylor
