Dear Dr. Webster:

As promised when we me at your teacher fair yesterday, this letter is my formal application for the

position of Instructor of Small Business Marketing and Management at Bay Valley Business High

School. Your enthusiasm and excitement about your charter high school are contagious! I believe

my unique blend of classroom instruction, education management, and marketing background is

perfect for this new position and the curriculum you are offering to your students.

As my resume and application indicate, I have considerable experience in instructions and in

building strong working relationships with business and industry. My Qualifications are unusually

suited for this position in that I have been successful in creating and delivering business-related

curriculum to a wide range of students. It would be my great pleasure to bring that experience to

your inventive concept of incorporating business skills with academics.

You mentioned in our brief conversation that the marketing component is a very important aspect

of making Bay Valley Business High School a success. I have taught marketing and

entrepreneurship classes when presenting employ ability skills for the Community College’s Job

Skills Institute, a program for high school students. My students have learned to create Web pages,

use PowerPoint for their “corporate” presentations, and use Microsoft Office to develop their

personal portfolios. My students create their own small corporations or business in which they

develop job descriptions, elect officers, generate budgets, and experience the many facets of

starting up a small business. The students love this! And so do I.

Teaching is my passion. I am most effective when I am in the classroom. It brings me great joy to

participate as my students connect learning with their future workplace skills. I have heard

wonderful things about the quality of staff and students at Bay Valley Business High School and

that your future looks incredibly promising. Your vision of a high school that opens doors for

students to achieve both academically and in the business world is innovative and challenging. I

believe my passion for education, coupled with my unique background, is a perfect fit with your

vision.

I look forward to hearing from your office and the opportunity to meet with the interview

committee. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Barbara J. Watson
