Free Humanitarian cover letter example

Dear Ms. Schneider.

Upon learning of your need for a Humanitarian worker, I am writing you to submit my resume for consideration. As a Humanitarian with 10 years of volunteer experience and a recent recipient of a Master’s degree in Sociology, I believe I have the education and experience necessary to succeed as a Humanitarian worker for your organization.

My professional experience includes 10 years of volunteering for organizations such as Habitat for Humanity. While this was not paid work, I think my experience has prepared me well for helping your organization achieve its goals.

Below are some of my achievements and qualifications.

Earned Master’s degree in Sociology from Boston University

Developed and implemented logistical plans for Habitat for Humanity construction projects

Coordinated the efforts of architects, construction professionals and fellow volunteers on several projects

Ordered construction supplies without going over budget

Recruited and trained other volunteers

Although I may not have the experience other candidates have, I have an insatiable desire to help people, and I think that makes me a great candidate. If you would like to grant me an interview, then please contact me at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Lawrence G. Skidmore
