Entry Level Psychology Cover Letter

My name is [your name] and I am excited about the opportunity to work as a [role name] at your company.  Given my skills, interests, and experiences, I am sure I would excel in this role.  I would love to tell you more about myself and why I believe I would be an excellent fit.

I am highly qualified and trained to work with juveniles in a rehabilitation setting.  My Bachelor of Science in criminology empowered me to develop an acute understanding and appreciation for the various social and personal factors that influence juvenile behaviors and development.  I have also secured and maintained a variety of certifications such as First Aid, CPR, and ProAct, along with HIPAA training and NPI registration.  

Working with juveniles is something I take very seriously.  My behavioral health training and childhood behavior management training have equipped me with the right frameworks and tools to help evaluate, set goals, and supervise juveniles through their development and rehabilitation.  I have already worked with a variety of juveniles and their families within the system, always with the goal of further honing my skills so that I can be the most influential and transformative behavioral health professional they will ever encounter.

But more than anything, working with this population is my passion.  Having grown up as a troubled youth, I can very personally relate to the kids I work with.  I can relate to their families because I witnessed firsthand the sort of difficulties and trials families go through when they have troubled youth.  I love working with kids, I love leading them, and I love being able to offer them the same chances I had.  

I would love to discuss the opportunity with you in greater detail.  Please regard my full resume and contact information below.  Thank you so much!

Sincerely,

Signature
