Dear Ms. Doe:
I was interested to read the article in the Austin Times which addressed the growing international student population at your university and noticed an opening for an International Student Advisor. I am writing to apply for the position of International Student Advisor at the University of Texas. As you can see in my resume, I will graduate this May from the University of Pennsylvania with an M.S> Ed., with a specialization in Intercultural Communications.
For the past year, I have worked as a Resident Advisor at the International House in Philadelphia. I have been responsible for 40 international students who have recently moved to the United States. In this position, I advise students on personal, cultural, and immigration issues, as well as organize professional, social, and cultural programs. Combining interpersonal and organizational skills, I have been successful at assisting these students in beginning their life in the United States. Additionally, last summer I assisted with International Orientation at the University of Pennsylvania. Both of these positions have helped me to understand international student issues and concerns. My graduate course work has increased my knowledge of international cultures and concerns. My graduate course work has increased my knowledge of international cultures, customs, and communication styles.
These experiences have formed an excellent foundation on which to build my international student advising career and I would be most interested in continuing my career at the University of Texas. Thank you for taking the time to review my resume. I will be moving to Austin at the end of May and would be delighted to meet with you shortly thereafter. I look forward to speaking with you soon.
Sincerely,
Beth Bradley
