Hercampus Cover Letter

I believe that I would be a good candidate for the nonfiction residency at The University of Iowa. I deserve to go on the field trip because I represent West High School well. I’ve been a devoted part of the Beak ‘n’ Eye for two years. I am honored to call myself the news editor and I am eager to become a better writer. I work very hard and am always there to take on a new story and help in any way. If there is breaking news I am there to report it. On the day of the lock down I stayed after school to write an article to be published for the website. I am not afraid to take on a challenge. For the latest issue I had a two page spread. One reporter’s story didn’t work out so I stepped up to the plate to take care of the page. I wrote a new article

I am writing this letter to apply for a hairdresser job. The advertisement stated you were looking for an educated and friendly employee for the position. I believe that I have the experience and qualities to be an excellent candidate for the position.

The purpose of this letter is to express my interest in the Employment Supports Coordinator position currently open in the Maryland Employment department. I presently fulfill the role of the Day Program Lead at the Maryland Day Program. My supervisor is Janae Householder, Day Program Coordinator.

Uprisings against police crimes, protests on Israeli occupation, lobbying for gay rights, striking for a higher minimum wage, etc. are all fought with the same fist and same power: that of the people. Just in recent months, black activists in Chicago have traveled with student groups to Palestine in opposition of apartheid, and Palestinians marched beside the black community during the Black Lives Matter movement. Political prisoner Angela Davis lead the community hand-in-hand with Rasmea Odeh, a contemporary victim of political repression. The same can be said about so many other organizations and communities here in Chicago. The struggles of so many across the globe are unified here in Chicago by the thread of tyranny and injustice. This unifying thread only serves to symbolize how struggles belong to no single body or group of people, but are obstacles that must be overcome by the global

Thank you Dean Christy Hanson, the Institute for Global Citizenship, planning committee, fellow panelists, and distinguished guest Malcolm Gladwell for coming together for the 2014 International Round Table. A panel to discuss the grounding roots of ‘effective revolutions’ in no way feels revolutionary at Macalester. As an institution founded on a pillar of civic engagement, we protest, we gather and we surrender ourselves, our time and our labor to causes that we support. But at Macalester it often seems we are asked what we do, instead of why we do it. This ‘why’ question, however, is essential in the quest for understanding how revolutions start and what forces motivate communities into action. Today, we millennials extend arms or should I say “likes” to support our causes through social media. We join Facebook events, retweet 140 character blurbs from our favorite politicians and ‘tumble’ our time away reading the latest blog posts of like-minded friends. But do these social interactions produce the momentum and manpower to produce revolutions similar to a civil rights movement that engulfed the southern United States for nearly a decade?

I am writing to express my interest in seeking admissions into the George Mason University’s Master of Science in Conflict Analysis and Resolution for the Fall 2015 semester. I have completed my online application and submitted all request materials.

I would like to share with you why I deserve to represent Westfield High School by being nominated for the Herman B Wells Scholarship at Indiana University. I believe that my integrity in academics, my involvement in extracurricular activities, my ability to lead others, and my service to community qualify me as a sterling candidate for this scholarship.

It is with great interest that I am applying for the writing consultant position at CSSW Writing Center. I believe my educational background in social work and public health combined with my writing and communication skills makes me a strong candidate for this position.

The week had been strenuous, yet productive. The multiple meetings with fellow organizations and countless hours of volunteer services depleted my energy. Add the hours of academic work, and well, I could never complain that my life was uneventful.On this eventful day, the Social Justice Fellows were holding our monthly guest speaker meeting. Although at the time I was feeling lethargic, the monthly meetings always gave me a boost of inspiration. I have an affinity towards academia and activism, but an even stronger affinity towards intellectual discourse. Which these meetings never left me disappointed.

Like a common thread intertwining the several heroes of social justice whom I have studied throughout the semester, the devotion to their own respective faith has empowered these individuals to dedicate their lives to the arduous task of representing the oppressed

While this has created incredible opportunities for personal connection and platforms for underrepresented causes, it’s also allowed those same moments to be questioned, invalidated, and pushed back.

It’s my absolute pleasure to provide this letter of recommendation for Krystal as she seeks employment XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. As Krystal’s sole direct manager at Webco, I’ve worked closely with her for over four years. Krystal showed excellent communication and customer service skills while consistently exceeded company expectations. On a personal level, she’s friendly, outgoing, thorough, and eager to help and learn, these qualities served her well in her role as sales representative and merchandizing professional.

Mahatma Ghandi once said “We must become the change we wish to see in the world.” Ken E. Nwadike, Jr. recognized the value of these words early and transformed his life from homeless teen, to successful businessman, to compassionate peace-maker. You probably wouldn’t know him by name, but if you watch the news, you might just recognize him as the African-American guy with the “Free Hugs” sign who always seems to be standing in the middle of the fray during violent protests. I first became aware of him when I was watching coverage of the protests in Charlotte, NC last fall in response to the police shooting of Keith Lamont Scott. Amidst the dark chaos of the destructive rioting, Nwadike stood out like a ray of sunshine as he tried to bridge the divide between protestors and police officers by promoting mutual respect and understanding. I am inspired by his story and his mission of

I regret to inform you that I have not been doing well for the last week or so. I am emotionally burned out and psychologically having great difficulty in focusing while working with Christina and memorizing lines. Christina and I talked about it today, while rehearsing. I have disappointed and and feel really sorry about it.

Its focus on multiculturalism gave me a focus on what kinds of stories to seek out. With the confidence that comes from representing a publication rather than being on my own, I found the events celebrating diversity and groups seeking to change perspectives. So far, these have included learning the importance of a Haitian-Creole Conversation Table, engaging with people on the controversial issues liking with seeking reactions to the vetoed Religious Liberty Bill, and finding activists leading grassroots efforts such as with Aisha Yaqoob with the Georgia Muslim Voter Project. That last article in particular is my proudest piece yet because it was a perfect example of being able to use my voice to help spread awareness of issues most are not aware of as well as help uplift the efforts of activists working to make a change in their communities. InfUSion has only solidified my love for engaging with the community and helping share diverse
