Cover Letter
To whom it may concern,
I am a Child and Youth Program Assistant at Fort Cavazos, Texas. I am interested in transitioning from a part time CYPA to a full time CYPA. I have a bachelor's degree in Education and ECH-6 Gen & SPED EC-12, as well as experience working for this program. With an eagerness to grow and learn within this program, I believe I am a great fit for this position.
I am interested in this position for many reasons. As I have worked in my current position, I have had the opportunity to get to know how my center works, what it is like to be in our classrooms and be able to help any new hires who come into my room with whatever they need. I would love to be able to put in more hours as I enjoy this program and the people in it.
Thank you for taking the time to go over my resume and read my letter of inquiry, I do greatly appreciate being considered for any full time openings that you have. Please feel free to call me at (512) 999-8727 if you have any questions or would like some additional information. I hope to hear from you soon!
Sincerely, Patience Hackett
