To whom it may concern:
Recently, I saw your ___ position posted on your website. This position is a great fit with my education and
professional experience.
My coursework at Carroll University has included curriculum and research of a variety of topics in personal and
community health, which have been amplified by my practicum experiences as a Personal Trainer in the weight
room for the Carroll University Football team as well as a Strength and Conditioning Coach for Vibe Dance
Studio. These practicum experiences have allowed me to apply my education and coursework to individuals as
well as groups in both a variety of different settings and with a variety of different people. In addition to my
coursework, I am a certified nursing assistant (CNA) at Angels Touch Assisted Living, an Alzheimers and
Dementia specialized facility. As a CNA, I have learned how to build compassionate and therapeutic
relationships with my patients, as well as a proper bedside manner. These experiences paired with my education
have strengthened my communication skills with clients and my ability to work effectively with a health care
team. Working as a Dietary Aide at Rennes Nursing Home I learned valuable information about nutrition, which
was then reinforced with my classes at Carroll. Through all my experiences I have learned and developed many
valuable skills worthy of the health care field. As health care providers we share a common mission: to provide
compassionate, affordable, state-of-the-art healthcare to the community. With your employment, I know these
goals are achievable.
Enclosed is my application for your review. I would really appreciate the opportunity to meet with you in person
to further discuss my qualifications. If you have any questions feel free to call or e-mail me at (920) 629-9180 or
cbjorklu@pio.carrollu.edu. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,

Courtney Bjorklund
