Dear Ms. Peterson,

I am writing to express my interest in the Student Assistant position for ACLU. I found the job posting
listed on the University of Washington Bothell Student Employment website. I am a senior, majoring in
Global Studies with a minor in Human Rights. I am very excited about the job opening and I believe I am
well-qualified for the position.

I am anxious to work for ACLU because I am very compassionate about public service. In the future, I
would like to obtain a career that will allow me to work closely with the community in assisting others
with the resources they need. If given the chance to work or ACLU, I know I will become more
knowledgeable about the field of public service while providing the organization with quality work. In
my Human Rights courses we spend in-depth time understanding the Human Rights issues and
initiatives and their relationship to public policies. Throughout my work experience, I have served many
jobs that involved administrative responsibilities. For example, I have four years of experience working
as a front desk manager for the Quantitative Skills Center at UW Bothell. As a front desk manager, I
performed many administrative tasks which include some of the following: database entries, Microsoft
programs, reviewing confidential information of students, filing, booking appointments, answering
phone calls, assisting in various projects, and using basic office equipment. In addition to this position, I
also have experience in administrative work in serving as a Research Assistant for UW Medical Center.
As a Research Assistant, my job requires that I pay close attention to detail. I am responsible for entering
information into a nation-wide database network and also assisting clinicians in streamlining the
network system. From the knowledge and skills I have gained from previous work experiences, I believe I
am the perfect candidate for ACLU.

I am very eager to perform work that benefits the greater public. If I am chosen for the job, I will work
hard in any tasks I am assigned. I believe I can contribute largely to ACLU by offering my leadership skills
and professionalism. I am confident that I can meet the expectations required for the position. I have
attached my resume for your review. The possibility of working for ACLU is very exciting and I look
forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
