My previous cover letter was really weak and I used to spend hours adjusting it in Word. Now, I can introduce any changes within minutes. Absolutely wonderful!

I was pleased to learn about the available school counselor position at Southfield Middle School. In addition to my Bachelor of Psychology and Master’s Degree in Psychotherapy, I have 10+ years of experience working as a school counselor. My mediation and career counseling courses increase my value as an employee, and have helped 2000+ students over the years of my work. I am confident I can transfer my skill set to benefit the wellbeing and performance of students at Southfield Middle School.
Throughout my previous school counselor positions, I was providing individual and group support for students aged 14-19, regarding career counseling, academic achievements, mental and physical health, as well as mediation sessions. I also helped students after suffering trauma, regularly providing them with therapeutic sessions. Each year, 40+ students benefited from this type of trauma assistance. Together with the Streetwise charity, I created a helpline for local young people in crisis, which during the first year helped at least 400 school-aged children. Due to the introduction of mediation workshops for students and anti-violence initiatives at school, the problem of aggression among students has significantly decreased. Comparing statistics from three years ago to the current situation, the number of reported bullying cases decreased by 74%. I received over $200,000 from various state and private funds to enable students in need to progress their academic career.
Thanks to my resourcefulness and 10+ years of experience, I am convinced that I meet all your requirements for the position of School Counselor at Southfield Middle School. Joining your school community could be a great opportunity for development for your students as well as for me as a psychologist and therapist in a larger school than my last.
When would be a good time to discuss how I can introduce meditation techniques to benefit the maximum number of students at Southfield Middle?
