Dear (Potential Employer),
I’ve been a Security Officer for the
last ten years, but with four years of Grad School ahead of me I’m looking to
stay one until I get my MS. I like my work as a guard, and I’m told I do it
well.
At the start of this year I was laid off
from my seven year employer and took that time to finish my degree. They lost
more than 50 jobs that month, so I guess it was inevitable.
My last employer said that if business
picked up they would call me back, but they knew I was soon to become a college
graduate. I doubt they will have need for more Guards any time soon. They had
lost ten jobs the month before and fifteen two months earlier.
In four years I hope to get my
certification from the state as a Mental Health Counselor. I want to help
people. I can get this degree without working another day if I wanted to cash
in my retirement plan and come away with tens of thousands in debt. I don’t see
this as an option. A man is better off working than borrowing.
I look for honest work for honest pay.
Thank you for your time,
Richard Leland Neal
