Dear Hiring Manager,

I am interested in the full-time position at Dolphin Encounters as advertised online. I have equine experience, as I have been around animals and water all my life. Not only have I learned how to swim in deep water, and have excellent skills with all animals, but I have also had extensive experience assisting with rescuing animals. Through working with dogs and cats, I have acquired a thorough knowledge of medical experience, though it was a lot to memorize and understand, if any animal is in need of medical assistance, I could be of service to them.

While I have equine experience, I also have excellent communication skills and an aptitude for dolphin rescue. My past experience as a volunteer at ASPCA, and SPCA made it necessary for me to focus on helping any animal that is being abused or in deperate need for a home, and also enabled me to work with all types of people and animals. I believe that my communication skills, partnered with my equine knowledge, as well as my experience in any depth of water, would make me an asset to your company. Thank you for your consideration. I can be reached at 757-467-9538 or 757-309-3908. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely,

Raven Marie Burton
