To whom it my concern,
I am very interested in the position posted for a Child Development Faculty. I
have held various leadership positions that help to enhance my experience in
child development, implementing policies and procedures related to the Head
Start programs, and the daily operation and management of the faculty, staff and
a diverse student body.
As stated in my curriculum vitae, I have a proven track record in several
competencies you're seeking especially in demonstrating excellence in teaching,
commitment to integrating new technologies in the learning process and the
ability to inspire, motivate and empower students to succeed. My current and
past positions, allowed me the opportunity to become a well-rounded educator
and I believe I could make a valuable contribution as a member of the Child
Development Faculty. Im an energetic, imaginative leader who possesses a
vision then plans and executes an innovative, comprehensive solution. Here are
a few highlights:

Excellent critical thinking skills, organizational skills and strong

interpersonal skills
Exceptional verbal and written communication skills
Effectively deal with complex issues as well as able to evaluate and/or
implement solutions to those potential problems.
Maintain high degree of professionalism and reliability within areas of
responsibility by providing leadership, direction, motivation, and training.

Since the future holds many trends that we must meet, as a member of your
staff, I will continue to assist and push towards the mission, goals and purpose
Kennedy King College. Thanking you in advance for your consideration. Please
