. (please see provided list.) You will e-mail your resume to me for review. I
have also provided my resume as an example and examples provided by the
Career Center.
Cover Letters
Address to a specific name and title.
Writing style should be direct, powerful, and error free. Edit to eliminate
extraneous words and to check grammar, spelling, and punctuation. In
addition to stating your purpose, the letter tells the reader how well you
communicate. Use appropriate language. Repeat terms that the employer
uses. Avoid jargon and the passive voice.
The cover letter should be no more than one page.
Keep the letter short and to the point. Three or four paragraphs will suffice:
● Paragraph 1: State your interest and purpose.
● Paragraph 2 (& 3): Highlight your resume by stressing what you will do
for the employer.
● Paragraph 3: Request an interview and thank the reader for their time
and consideration.

I found my passion for Residence Life during my tenure as a Resident Assistant at Capital University in Columbus, Ohio.
The idea of building and cultivating a community was an ideal match for my personality and talents, which then led me
to pursue a master’s degree in student affairs. Currently, I am the Graduate Assistant for Community Standards and
Student Conduct at Wright State University and serve as a liaison to Residence Life and Housing. This position has
taught me how to support a community through adjudication of incidents of alleged misconduct in the residential
communities, provide development opportunities to Resident Assistants and Community Directors on proper incident
and crisis management techniques and reporting structures. During my graduate career, I have held various internships
that have allowed me to grow in: crisis management and response, international student affairs, diversity education,
and the assessment of programs. I am enthusiastically seeking a Residence Life position. Available June 2017.
Geographically flexible.
