Cover letter?

Published

Specializes in Memory care.

I am a CNA applying for a dream job at the Children's hospital here in Colorado. The position is a therapy/clinic aide in sports medicine.

I have never written a cover letter. I don't even know where to begin, who to address it to.

The job overview says: (and I'm paraphrasing) Provide a clean, organized environment..may assist clinic staff..assist therapy team with therapies..assist early childhood special ed. teacher with therapies..

I have worked mainly with elderly people, but I really want to be working with children. I come from a large family, so I have a ton of life experience with children of all ages.

Would someone please help me..at least point me in the right direction??

Thank you! Sarah

Have you tried to search the internet for cover letter examples? You could probably copy and paste one and just change the specifics and add a couple of sentences to make it personal.

Here is something I found online: therapy aide cover letter - Yahoo Search Results

I have never written a cover letter. I don't even know where to begin, who to address it to.--

if the ad doesn't name a specific person to address it to then you can just say "to whom it may concern" or "Dear Future colleague,"

If you want to try writing something and posting it, I would be happy to help edit it for you.

Thank you!

I have googled, and I see lots of cover letters for advanced degrees. I like the one you posted. I may take you up on looking over what I come up with.
