wanna write this for me?

I'm trying to write my admissions essay for grad school and am at a complete road block.  I can't figure out how to start it.  I've looked at examples, but they're not really helpful.  I want to get this done so I can submit it today, cause I want to get everything in ASAP so I can find out soon if I get in!  Help!! :(

Re: wanna write this for me?

    So...basically it's a very long-winded resume/cover letter combined?  Oof.  That sucks.  I took a resume/interviewing workshop and learned SOOO much.  But it's weird, because I still never know if I'm putting in my CL what people want to read, kwim?  Sometimes I feel long-winded, but I have a lot to say, lol!

    All I know is that sometimes it helps me to read other people's CL's.  I'll post my CNA cover letter from when I first got certified, maybe it will give you something to build on?

    *****************************
    It is with enthusiasm that I submit my resume for the position of Certified Nursing Assistant.  It is my objective to settle into a long-term career in the medical field, and I believe that my recent medical training, along with my willingness to learn, would make me a valuable addition to your team.

    My clinical experience at XXX Senior Care Facility helped me learn to manage multiple patient requests simultaneously, to provide a high level of care with respect and dignity, and equipped me with a broader base of clinical knowledge.  As a CNA, I look forward to serving others with kindness, understanding, and compassion.  I am CPR certified, and have completed the Blood Borne Pathogens,  Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers courses and HIPAA training.  I am willing to pursue any additional training required to obtain and uphold this position.

     

    In addition to my certification as a nursing assistant, I also have significant office experience.  I have dealt with all aspects of the front office including, but not limited to, greeting customers, handling multi-line phone systems, using a variety of office equipment, and communicating well between clients and company executives. 

     

    I would bring to this position a strong work ethic, positive attitude, and a desire to succeed.  I am a fun, friendly and cooperative person with drive and determination.  I look forward to discussing my attached resume with you further.  You can reach me anytime by calling XXX. Thank you for your consideration.
    *******************************

     

    This is my resume "objective" (which I think is a completely retarded part of a resume...uhhh...my objective is to GET A JOB idiots!): 

     

    To utilize and expand my skills in the medical field by working long term in a facility which offers maximum growth potential via on-the-job education and internal advancement opportunities.

     

    (Be kind all you HR ladies, lol!)

    Does this kind of thing help you at all?  If not, sorry.  If so, yay!  :)

  • Thanks for posting that!  I finally managed to finish it, after sending it to my mom and asking her to revise it.  She helped me finish up the last 2 or 3 paragraphs.  Done and done!! :)
