Dear Hiring Manager, I bring a comprehensive set of skills that I believe will make me a valuable member to your team. I have currently graduated from the University of Toronto, and I am excited to continue my studies at the University of Toronto by pursuing my Master of Education in Educational Leadership and Policy this upcoming fall. In my current and past work experience, I honed my abilities in my leadership and responsibility. My customer service, confidence and dedication have acquired me excellent skills which allow me to perform above and beyond. I believe my extensive experience will aid in providing a firm foundation for the position. I am excited to contribute my talents and experience toward your team efforts. As someone who has many years of experience working with a diverse group of people, I believe that my ability to build strong professional relationships has been a beneficial asset throughout my career, and it is the reason why the people who I meet always return with a smile. My current experiences working as a lifeguard, swim instructor and customer service representative for Canada Swim School and for the University of Toronto, have given me much experience with customer service, time-management, problem-solving skills, and challenged me to continuously improve my abilities over the years. I've been a swim instructor to ages as young as 3 months old, to adults in their late 70s. I've also gained valuable experience with clients who have disabilities, such as teaching swimming to children who are autistic nonverbal. These experiences have challenged me to work hard, and perfect the way I teach to ensure it works across not only all ages, but more so, each one of their individual abilities and learning styles. I have an excellent record of always ensuring the safety of others, and I believe that my expertise in safety will make me a great addition to your team. Please review my resume below for a more in-depth illustration of my work experience and accomplishments. I am eager to discuss how my personality and background fit the role of this position. Thank you for your time and consideration of my candidacy. Sincerely, Casey Valentini
