LETTER 5-93: SOCIAL WORKER—WORKFORCE RETURN
If you were hiring, it’s likely you’d find it tough to turn down an interview with someone
so skilled and dedicated. Despite being out of the workforce for years, this jobhunter knows
how to get results!

Mr. Albert Girannelli
P.O. Box 1111

Dear Mr. Girannelli:
Your ad for a Social Worker caught my attention since I would like to
rejoin the profession after several years as a homemaker and mother.
With my education, experience, and commitment to human services, I
possess all the qualifications you seek.

I have a B.S. in Learning Disabilities, M.S.W. degree, and state
licensure. For five years, I worked at a facility providing subacute care
and rehabilitation services to children and their families with a variety of
special health needs, receiving regular praise from my superiors for my
clinical and interpersonal skills. More recently, I performed over 10,000
hours of volunteer work with substance abusers while raising three
children.

Through my efforts over the years, I have remained abreast of new
issues and ideas in human services. I would be surprised if you were
able to find a more dedicated employee than I will be, or one more
ready to contribute once again by performing first-class assessments,
treatments, consultation, and training.
Enclosed you will find my resume, a copy of my state license, and
references. If there is anything else I can provide, please let me know. I
am anxious to meet with you as soon as possible.
Sincerely,

Suzanne Collins
