Dear Director Hanson
As a highly skilled Youth Counselor I read your posting for a new Youth Counselor with interest. My experience aligns well with the qualifications you are seeking at Care One Youth Services in particular my role as a Youth Counselor at Sequoia Counselling Centre and I am certain I would make a valuable addition to your organisation.
With more than nine years’ experience as a Youth Counselor I am adept in documentation counselling and goal planning. Moreover while my on-the-job experience has afforded me a well-rounded skill set including first-rate problem solving and time management abilities I excel at:
- Meeting with youth and families to gather information and establish parameters.
- Supporting individual exploration of deep-seated issues and negative behaviours.
- Modelling positive behaviours and introducing coping techniques.
- Leading activities for youth groups to provide positive experiences.
In addition to my experience and personal qualities I have a solid educational foundation and a passion for youth support. I am extremely enthusiastic about Care One Youth Services’ focus on dynamic and environment-focused care approaches and would welcome the opportunity to contribute to your continued success in helping local youth develop coping strategies improve behaviours and maximise all opportunities for growth and realisation of each individual’s potential.
