I reallly need cover letter HELP!
I am sooo bad at this kind of thing.
I'm applying for a respiratory therapy externship at a local hospital. I've been looking online trying to find a good sample cover letter I could generate mine from, but found nothing. I have no experience in this field whatsoever. No healthcare related experience whatsoever. So I have nothing like that to put in my cover letter. I came up with this one myself (as in--I didn't use any samples or anything from the internet to help me) so I'm sure it's not very good. But I don't know what to say!
If you have time, could you read this and give me some pointers!? What should I change? (and I know there's lots I can change I'm sure!) I know my second paragraph is definitely lacking..
I was very excited to read about the Respiratory Therapy Extern position available at [hospital name]. I am just completing my first year as a Respiratory Therapy student at [college name] and am looking for a position that leverages my education and my ability to learn quickly and independently.
I have an extensive background in customer service which has allowed me to gain excellent interpersonal and communication skills. Working two part-time jobs while going to school full-time this semester has also proven my ability to multi-task and be organized.
The long list of services provided by [hospital name], along with its solid reputation as being Wisconsin?s leading medical center makes it a great place to get hands-on experience in the healthcare industry. This externship would provide me with the ideal opportunity to assist your organization and to expand my knowledge of the Respiratory Therapy field. I look forward to speaking with you about this opportunity.
Sincerely,
Michelle
