To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing in response to the current job opening available for a Guidance Counselor
position.
I am a graduate of Caldwell University where I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in
Psychology. I continued my education at Caldwell University to obtain a CACREP
accredited Masters in Counseling with School Counseling Specialization, while also
satisfying the education requirements for the New Jersey Licensed Professional
Counselor track. My MA in Counseling with School Counseling Specialization will be
complete in May 2017. Within the Sparta School District, I have worked as a substitute, a
paraprofessional, and as an intern. During my practicum and internship I gained
experience in several areas including student counseling, student crises, guidance
curriculum, college and career development, scheduling, and testing.Also, I am well
informed of current and new technologies that are utilized to assist students and staff. In
my practicum experience, alongside my supervisor, I created a presentation that assisted
student and parents in current college application processes and career counseling for
Naviance Night. Through my experience in my positions, my education, and internships,
I continue to learn and to grow as a professional. I am diligent, knowledgeable and
competent and would be an asset to your team.
I would greatly appreciate discussing my potential in this position. Thank you for your
consideration.
Sincerely,
Samantha N. Carter
