To whom it may concern,

My name is Jourdan Tucker, and I am applying for a position in your
district. Currently, I am a Senior Agricultural Sciences major at Texas A&M
University in College Station, Texas. I am intelligent, a quick learner, and a
dependable, trustworthy employee with a good work ethic. I am also great as a
critical thinker and possess excellent research skills. I possess the rarest personality
type in the world, and because of this, I have particular skills that will be useful in
a career setting. For example, I am one who can work just as well alone as I can
when working with a group. I am capable for finding middle ground with all other
personalities and temperaments. I can quickly judge a situation, and what needs to
be done which will make work move faster, however, I do not rush to conclusions
either. Lastly, my most substantial skill I possess is empathy. I can read others
emotions like words on a page. As a teacher, I will use this intuitive nature with
students who may typically be misunderstood. My use of empathy will also help
me connect with my students, parents and other employees and staff. When my
students know that I respect them and understand them, then they are more
accessible when teaching. Please consider me for this job opportunity. I hope to
hear from you soon.

Sincerely yours,

Jourdan Tucker
