123-456-7890 [email protected] Mr. James Rodriguez, Hiring Manager Cooks Children’s Health Care System 801 7th Avenue Fort Worth, TX 76104 February 23, 2015 Dear Mr. Rodriguez: I am writing this letter in response to the posting for a Surgical Assistant (#1234) recently posted on the Madeup Hospital career’s website. For the past two years, I have been working at Certified Nursing Assistant at Another Pretend Hospital while working towards my nursing degree. I believe that the experience I’ve gained through my education and previous experience as a CNA make me an ideal candidate for this position. My Tarrant County College Associate of Arts degree has given me a solid foundation to help maximize my thinking strategies. I have developed excellent communication skills to improve workflow by giving speeches and working conjointly with peers to give presentations. These communication and workflow skills were most recently tested when I had the opportunity to coordinate a large group project for a fully online course. While each member had a conflicting schedule, I was able to set up a Microsoft Teams area for asynchronous collaboration as well as a spreadsheet that allowed each member to communicate with the team at the time that functioned best for them. At the end of the semester, this team was responsible for presenting one chapter of information as a lecture, and I was elected by my team to take the lead on this important verbal and visual communication. As a CNA at Another Pretend Hospital, I’ve learned to utilize clear and concise communication in another context while learning about the culture and demands of the nursing profession. In this field, I believe that one should always be a great communicator. This is a trait that I have always worked on in order to give a patient the best quality care. Communication is a critical skill in representing not only the physician, but also the hospital as a whole. I have also refined my critical thinking skills in order to respond to the fast-paced environment and needs of the team I am a part of. While this work is demanding, and I can see from the excellent examples I am surrounded by each day that a nursing career is even more so, I believe that the work and effort are always worthwhile. Thank you for taking the time to consider me, and I look forward to discussing this position with you further. I can be contacted any time at 123-456-7890 or at [email protected]. Sincerely,

T. C. Toro T. C. Toro
