Dear Ms. Cummings:

As described on my attached resume, I am a trained dental assistant with several years of clinical and administrative experience. I am conducting a search for a full-time or part-time position in the Indianapolis area. I have heard about your agency's placement record through several colleagues, so I am very enthusiastic about current or future client postings that match my professional abilities. Any assistance that Any Employment Agency could provide me in securing such a position would be much appreciated.

To highlight the details of my resume and the attached letter of recommendation, my qualifications are as follows:

• Over six years of experience as a dental assistant, contributing to direct patient care and patient relations.

• Honor graduate as a dental assistant from National Education Center.

• Sound knowledge of medical terminology and clinical procedures.

• Certified in first aid, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and electrocardiography.

• Additional experience as a receptionist/secretary with an executive search/management consulting firm, a financial management company, and realty firms.

My compensation requirement is in the mid-twenties. I am available to start as soon as needed, and relocation is easy to arrange. Please, let's talk by phone regarding appropriate next steps, and, should you judge appropriate, to arrange an in-person meeting. I would be happy to travel to Indianapolis to meet with you or one of your clients whenever necessary. I look forward to speaking with you soon. In advance, thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Chris Smith
