Mr. Michael New
Director of Human Resources
Saint Michael’s College
Colchester, VT 05439

Dear Mr. New:

In response to your posting, I wish to be considered for the position of Admission Counselor at Saint Michael’s College.  Enclosed are my resumé and transcript for your review.

I believe that my education at Saint Michael’s, my past experience working with college-bound students, my interpersonal skills, and my extensive participation in a variety of activities make me an excellent candidate for this position.  First and foremost, I believe that I emanate the spirit and enthusiasm for Saint Michael’s that would attract students to this institution.  Those around me are often remarking on my zest for people, my creativity and my dedication to any task that I set out to accomplish. With these as my strengths, I believe that I can enthusiastically represent Saint Michael’s College to a variety of people in a range of settings.

I have been actively involved in every aspect of the Saint Michael’s community and I have gained many skills that would be of benefit to the position of Admission Counselor.  I have headed up the Programming Board as the Secretary of Programming, planned and promoted events, come up with creative ideas and attracted people to becoming involved in the community.  I have also informed the student body about Student Association activities on a weekly basis through my position as the Secretary of Communications.

I have served as a member of many teams.  From the rugby field to the Board of Trustees meetings, I have gained valuable interpersonal skills that will assist me in being successful in the role of Admission Counselor.  I have worked with a diverse group of people, ranging from eleventh grade United States history students to the many people I have met through the M.O.V.E. (Mobilization of Volunteer Efforts) extended service program.  I believe that this versatility and real enthusiasm for Saint Michael’s will contribute greatly to my success in this position.

My areas of study at Saint Michael’s have been American Studies and Secondary Education. Through my student teaching experience and my summer tutor-counselor role at the college-bound program, “Upward Bound,” I have applied my liberal arts background to my dedication for youth.  I feel very strongly that every student should have the opportunity to go to college, and I believe that I could greatly assist and encourage students to apply to Saint Michael’s as their first choice.

I am highly motivated, responsible, and extremely dedicated to Saint Michael’s College.  I strongly believe that I am an excellent representative of the school and I am confident in my abilities to perform as an Admission Counselor.  I look forward to meeting with you soon and speaking with you further about this position.

Thank you for your time and interest.

Sincerely,

Heidi Happy
