To whom it may concern,

I am writing to express my enthusiastic interest in joining your team and working in the field of recovery. This would be a career change for me. While my professional background is rooted in sales I am deeply committed to helping individuals navigate their way through early recovery from substance use disorder and alcoholism. I am eager to bring my skills and lived experience to this vital field. Throughout my career in sales I have developed strong communication, empathy, and problem solving abilities, all of which are directly applicable to the chemical dependency field. Moreover, my own journey of recovery has instilled in me a profound understanding of the challenges faced by those struggling with addiction. My story includes several in-patient treatment centers, incarceration, homelessness, separation from family and loss of employment. I am currently seven years clean and sober in good standing with my recovery community. I bring a message of hope to those trying to get clean.

I am excited about the prospect of not only contributing to you team but also pursuing certification as a certified peer support specialist as soon as possible.

Thank you for considering my application. I can provide character reference letters upon request. I am excited about the possibility of contributing to your team and making a meaningful impact in the lives of those in need.

Sincerely,

Steve Burns
