Dear Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association,
I am writing to apply for the Watershed Institute Coordinator position posted on your job board. I believe my education and prior work experiences have given me skills appropriate for this job. I also think that my style of work ethic, enthusiam, organization, and professionalism would fit in well at the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association.
I have been receiving an excellent education in the environmental science department at the University of Idaho for the past 4 years. There I gained a variety of skill sets and experiences in environmental science issues and water resource management. My studies primarily consisted of classes involving water resources, soils, climate change, and natural resource policy. I have been a leader on numerous group projects involving ecosystem studies and outreach programs.
I have spent a significant amount of time developing skills to work in collaborative environments with individuals across multiple disciplines. I also have spent time developing personal skills in organization and management.
When it comes to working individually or collaborativly, I am somewhat of a perfectionist. I take great pride in doing tasks to the best of my ability in the most efficient manner possible. I work well with others and am open to opinions and concerns in the work place to ensure proper communication among employees. I enjoy finding new problems and applying critical thinking skills to solve the problem to the best of my ability. I am able to work well within time constraints to meet deadlines. I believe these skills are necessary for a management position like this.
Seasonally, I have worked around water resources when school was not in session. I believe I understand the importance and impacts water resources will have environmentally now and in the future. I would greatly enjoy devoting my time and effort to this company.
I have enclosed a copy of my resume with this letter. I am very interested in the position and would enjoy the opportunity for an interview. Please feel free to contact me at any time. I look forward to hearing from you.
