To whom it may concern,
My name is Stephanie Dunstan, and I am currently seeking an entry level position in international adoption. I am very interested in gaining experience in the adoption field, and believe that my education and employment background, as well as my interest in child psychology and community service, and passion for working with children and adoption in general make me an ideal candidate for the position.
In the spring of 2009 I will be graduating Summa Cum Laude as an Honors Commonwealth Scholar with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and a Bachelor of Arts in French, as well as a minor in psychology, from Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University. I have taken a wide variety of courses, such as comparative and US government, international relations, French language and culture, and Russian language, as well as classes in developmental, educational, and abnormal psychology. Through these courses I have been able to apply computer programs such as research databases and Microsoft Office applications in order to organize research. My educational experiences have allowed me to gain extensive experience in writing and communication, as well as in time management, organization, and multitasking.
In addition to my academic work, my experience also includes working with several different companies, government agencies, and other organizations, including the United Negro College Fund and the Fulbright Teacher Exchange. Through this wide variety of work experience I have been exposed to many different professional environments, as well as have been required to perform a variety of different administrative and organizational tasks, both independently and as part of a team. I also have extensive experience in basic office duties, handling telephone and data entry responsibilities, and customer service responsibilities. I have also helped organize a large international conference, making travel and hotel arrangements and organizing a week-long international program.
My qualifications and my interests in community service and child development make me well suited to the duties required for this position. I have enclosed a copy of my resume with additional information about my qualifications. Please feel free to contact me via email. I look forward to receiving your reply.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Stephanie C. Dunstan
