• Answer:

  Dear Sir; You have advertised a position for a preschool teacher assistant at ____. I am very interested in this job. I believe that I can offer qualities that would complement your program and be a valuable addition to the preschool staff. Over the past seven years, I have worked at day cares, children's centers, and in a home Montessori setting. When I was a child, there was actually a Montessori school in our home. I have had ample experience working and caring for young children. I find the work to be satisfying and fulfilling. I am very comfortable in working with young children and find that they respond positively to my patient and caring attitude with them. I believe that I work well with other adults, and can take direction from the teacher to support her teaching. Enclosed please find my formal application and references. I look forward to the opportunity of a personal interview. Sincerely, * * * * Be ready to explain why you have had so many jobs over the past seven years. Have you moved? Do you have young children yourself and have had to quit with each birth? You might add a statement about how circumstances have changed and now you are able to make a long term commitment to this job. Otherwise they might think you will be quitting soon, as perhaps you have done with other jobs.
