Summary
In addition to the details provided in work history, I have been taking care of my elderly father full time for the past two years. In all the fields in which I’ve worked, this has been the hardest work I’ve done. It has required patience and dedication that I never knew I was capable of. I believe the position I’m applying for would suit me perfectly in a variety of ways. It would put my acquired skills to use in a new and exciting way. As a part time position, it’s hours would offer me the flexibility to remain dedicated to helping my family. I am passionate about art and am already familiar with the museum. I have learned how to handle unexpected situations calmly and decisively, and believe this would suit me well for this position. I have several former employers who have assured me I can use them as a reference and would be glad to supply you with their contact information. I truly hope I may be considered and if selected, I will guarantee quality performance.
