Re: English as a Second Language Instructor

Dear Sir or Madam,

There are several reasons why I am an ideal candidate for the English as a Second Language Instructor position. In addition to possessing excellent oral and written English and French communication skills, as well as sharp word processing, database and research abilities, I think quickly on my feet and am a fast learner. I remain calm under stress and have extensive experience managing classroom instruction. My commitment to follow through on projects and willingness to work overtime is what sets me apart from all other applicants.

I am regarded as a creative force and I enjoy sharing my artistic abilities with others. I also enjoy traveling, learning foreign languages and planning trips and special events. I work well with executives, customers, and coworkers and demonstrate strong interpersonal communication and good judgment. I am very self sufficient and able to work independently with little supervision.

Realizing that letters and résumés are not an entirely satisfactory means of judging a person’s ability or personality, I suggest a phone interview due to the fact that I am teaching in Korea. I would enjoy speaking with you to discuss in fuller detail how my qualifications can fulfill your needs.

If my credentials interest you, please e-mail me or call me. I hope to hear from you in the near future.

Sincerely,

Vickie A. Peoples
