Potential Cover Letter

I read your job posting on snagajob.com in December of 2013 and became interested as I am confident that my skills I have acquired will qualify me to be your Medical Office Administrator. 

In the year 2013, I took a yearlong medical assisting program where I learned various skills including computer skills, business skills, and clinical skills. I am proficient at answering phones, greeting patients, processing business communications, and filing. I also know how to use effectively Microsoft Word, Pages, and Google Docs. My keyboarding speed is 60 words per minute with 100 percent accuracy.

I am a very responsible, goal oriented individual. Throughout my years in high school, I have acquired many honors and recognitions. In my medical assisting class, I was recognized as October Student of the Month and received the award of perfect attendance. I also received many recognitions in my career as a high school field hockey player. I was nominated as captain of the 2013 team where I lead my team through a very strong season. I was awarded the All-State recognition as well as the All-Star First Team recognition and I was placed on the All-Academic Team. As far as academics, I have been on the honor roll every single year and I maintain a high grade point average. I am confident I am a good fit for this position. 

This opportunity greatly interests me. I hope you will consider all of my qualifications and achievements and will see me as a good fit for this position. I have excellent references who will support my credentials. I look forward to speaking with you. Thank you for your time and consideration. 

Sincerely,




Lauren L. Russell

Dear Mrs. Michele Smith, Dr. Atwood, Dr. Fitz, Charlotte, Debbie and Office Staff:

I would like to take this time to sincerely thank you and your staff for hosting me these last eight weeks for my clinical experience.

This experience has gone by way too fast. I am going to really miss coming in to your office every week and viewing all of the neat procedures and especially spending time with all of you. I felt welcome one hundred percent of the time and I learned so much in such a short amount of time. I sincerely appreciate your patience and all of the time you spent with me. I will carry on what I learned in this experience for the rest of my life and will never forget all of you. I will especially remember being able to view several surgeries first hand. I cannot begin to express my appreciation for this opportunity. It was great working with all of your welcome, understanding patient’s and I look forward to a great future in the medical field.

Again, my sincere thanks for this clinical opportunity. This experience has more than confirmed my interest in the medical field, it has given me an insight as to what to expect. I will never forget this experience and I hope as I eventually get out on my own, I will find people as pleasant and warm as all of you to work with. 

Sincerely,

NTHS Essay

 At some point in everyone’s life, there comes a moment when that person has to choose between right and wrong and the consequences of both. That point in my life was my sophomore year in my regular chemistry class. At first, it seemed like a great idea. We worked together to get our work done. As the year progressed, the people I sat with began to slack off a bit and wouldn’t do their homework. They would ask to copy off of me and I agreed at first, because I thought it would be a onetime thing. Well, I was wrong and the more they copied off of me, the more I wanted to do something about it. But at the time, I sort of just let it go because I’m not the type of person to “tell” on someone, especially my friends. 
As I kept blowing it off, they began to take pictures of the study guides to use while they took their tests. They told me that I should do it and the teacher would never know. I refused because I wanted to take the test knowing that I could do it without cheating. As it turns out, my decision proved correct. Those people were caught cheating and given failing grades. 

To me, this incident was a true test of my character and integrity to stay true to myself. Cheating can be very tempting but when you work hard it is not necessary and doing the right thing pays off. I guess the lesson here is, when you’re friends are doing something they shouldn’t be and try to pressure you into it, stick to your guns and do what you believe is the right thing and everything will work out in the end. 

Kitten

There has been a little kitten hanging around my house for the past couple of weeks. She looked so helpless and hungry so we gave her some food and water and she has been coming back for more. As we gave her more food, we would try to gain her trust. Today, my sister and I gained the little kittens trust. She let us pet her and we eventually lured her into a carrier and brought her to the Animal Welfare Society.

I wanted to wright about this because I love animals. We wanted to keep the little kitten but we already have two cats of our own and they most likely wouldn't be accepting of another cat. I feel like I did my deed for the day by helping this little guy so she can get the medical help she needs and eventually be put into a permanent home where she will be loved for the rest of her life.

Captain Speech

The 2013 Field Hockey season was a great one despite ending in heart break. Our team was full of compassion for the game, skill, and most importantly the drive to win. Despite our disappointing playoff game that lasted about three hours, we accomplished so much over the season and should be nothing but proud. With an end record of 11 wins and 4 losses, 61 total goals scored throughout the season and only 11 let in, we were a record setting team that will leave behind a legacy. Morgan Dube will graduate as the all time leading scorer and points leader for the team and I will graduate as the all time assist leader at TA. Each and every player apart of the 2013 team played a key role in our success and this year shall never be forgotten.
I would personally like to thank Coach Smith for everything she has done for me over the past few years. It is going to be hard not coming back to her this coming Fall as her player. I would also like to give thanks to my parents for their support, Mr. Stevens for everything he does, and the TA boosters for all they have given us.
