Resume and Cover Letter

Derek Stephenson .

Dear Mr. Jones, My name is Derek Stephenson and I am looking to gain fulltime employment as a Respiratory Therapist with your company. I have researched your company and have found that you possess all the things that I desire in a company to work for. I appreciate the meaningful work and life changing care you give to your patients and I wish to be a part of the staff that performs this work. I have recently finished my degree in Respiratory Therapy and have logged hundreds of clinical hours of Respiratory Therapy care and greatly desire to bring my knowledge, skills and abilities to your company.

I feel that I offer the things that you as an employer would want in an employee. I believe that my work ethic is my strongest attribute but I bring many other things to the workplace that would be beneficial to any employer. I work well with others, and enjoy developing relationships in the workplace. I tend to be a leader with new ideas. I show initiative and can be someone who can be responsible for many tasks. I follow directions carefully and understand company policies. Safety in the workplace is very important part of every task performed.

I believe that I could be a valuable asset to your company. I would love to be the best hire you have ever made. I am looking forward to meeting you and discussing this opportunity and my qualifications in greater detail. You may contact me at any time at your convenience. Thank you for your consideration.
