Dear XYZ,

Six years ago, I was a resident at the XYC Center. I strongly value your treatment center’s philosophy and the care you provide. I am familiar with how your facility operates and the mission of your service, and believe I can be a valuable asset to the Center’s team.

In my past work experience, I was fortunate to have gained many priceless skills assisting women with various behavioral and psychological disorders. I have become equipped with skills that I can bring to your facility such as managing conflict, providing support for others, assisting in patient goal-setting, working with a care team, and being sensitive to the needs of those I am serving. The job was challenging, as each day was unpredictable and presented new situations. I enjoyed listening, supporting, and guiding the women through their daily experiences and challenges. I enjoy being kept on my feet, and I am always looking for ways to solve solutions, improve lives, be proactive, and exercise patience and understanding.

Above all, my past experiences have taught me that improvement is absolutely possible for those who are deeply entrenched in behavioral and psychological disorders, if the proper amount of support and unconditional care is provided. I am confident that I can be a valuable member of your team, and play a positive role in the resident’s lives at the XYZ Center.

Thank you for your consideration.
