Re: Occupational Therapist (OT) - Sign-On Bonus
Dear (provide the name of the person in charge if known),
I, hereby apply for the position of Occupational Therapist available at Nealy Pierce-Austin, TX. The description of the job as advertised on your website is interestingly attractive as it is in line with my career objectives of evolving in the health care field. My resume is enclosed for your consideration.
I am currently completing a B.S./M.S. degree in Occupational Therapy at D’Youville College Buffalo, NY. My GPA is 3.6/4.0, and the graduation will take place shortly in May 2016. Concurrently with my studies, I have been working since 2009 as a Manager at Thali of India (Authentic Indian Cuisine), Rochester, NY where I manage over 15 employees, establish customer relationship management programs, develop and implement new pricing strategies, organize and direct worker training programs in English, Punjabi, and Hindi.
I have a strong background in the occupational therapy area as I had the opportunity to be involved between 2014 and 2015 in professional duties pertaining to Level I and II occupational health care for children and the elderly. The duties were performed in four different health centers namely Unity Living Center - Rochester, NY, CP Rochester - Rochester, NY, Erie County Medical Center - Buffalo, NY and Charter School for Applied Technologies - Buffalo, NY. Moreover, I completed in 2011 voluntary assignments in occupational pediatric therapy at Mindful Movement - Ithaca, NY, and BOCES - Rochester, NY. The pre-cited work experiences have provided me with knowledge and skills that will allow me to fulfill my duties and responsibilities at Nealy Pierce appropriately. These include e.g. education of patients and family members on a particular medical condition and care activities, development of innovative tools for use in therapy, development of approaches for a better communication and relationship between patient and carers, competency in the use of the TENS device and management skills in clinical documentation.
In addition to possessing specific practical abilities that will be valuable for the job I am applying for, I am a dedicated and motivated worker than can complete duties under pressure and meet short deadlines whether working individually or in a team. I am proficient in four languages English, Punjabi, Hindi, Urdu, and Spanish, and will be able to communicate and help patients from different origins.
I believe that my profile strongly supports my ability to perform the duties and responsibilities of the position efficiently. I am looking forward to starting working at Nealy Pierce and dedicate my knowledge and skills to the needed.
Sincerely yours,
