MSW Looking for employment in adoptions

COVER AND LETTER ARE BELOW COVER LETTER: Brandie Wright 19536 East Maplewood Avenue Aurora, Co. 80016 (720)339-3235 Human Resources, Dear Human Resources, I am writing this letter to inquire about social positions within a social service agency. I read that your company services children and families through the area of adoption. I am interested in working within the social service area of adoption to serve your company and clients; this would be to my satisfaction. My qualifications as a M.S.W graduate and solid experience make me an ideal candidate for this position. My experience includes working with children and families in a variety of settings. Due to my interest in Child and Family Social Work, I took the initiative to intern and shadow LICSWs in the elementary schools and Family and Child Services gerontology Agencies. I became familiar with making assessments through diagnostic tools and counseling troubled children and their families through the use of well taught and proven techniques. I have worked extensively with neglected and abused children and provided healing modalities for them to cope and succeed throughout the school year. I have also delivered social services to the hurting, bereaved, and elderly. This knowledge combined with valuable social work skills acquired through working professionals, and my advocacy strategies, will enable me to effectively support clients. I have worked extensively with children and families within many different arenas. My dedicated, hard work ethic, empathetic nature and compassion for children will enable me to fulfill my dream of helping a child have a happy childhood through the provision of optimum adoption placements. For further details, please see my resume. I am very interested in working for your agency. It is my sincere hope that I would get the opportunity to meet with you and discuss my qualifications in greater detail. I will be in contact with you. Please feel free to contact me at any time. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Brandie S.
