Description
To Whom It May Concern; I am a housing professional with 30-plus years if experience. I have a bachelor's degree in Social Work that enhances my understanding of the impact of social norms and attitudes of my clients. Although my attached resume' provides an overview of my strengths and accomplishments, I have also listed some specifics that relate to the position: • Ability to work with a diverse and/or difficult population: My experience with the diverse population base of low-income families in Fort Worth allowed me to work refugees from Viet Nam, Ethiopia, Iran, and Iraq. I also worked with Mexican Americans, Black Americans and White Americans. Each group had its own set of specials needs and consideration. • Proficient in presentation development, training and facilitation: My responsibility included the development of program components, life skill and job training, assessments, tracking, and placement services. • Strong networking skills: As property manager I had to develop a list of applicable social services for client referrals. This included rent assistance, housing, food banks, life skill and employment training, health, and legal needs. • Exceptional motivational skills: In my capacity as manager working with under-served and under-educated people, it was my responsibility to encourage and to persuade individuals to make adjustments and lifestyle changes. This included making priority-based choices (rent, utilities, food), employment decisions, education, and training decisions. I offer a diversity of skills and training applications which have allowed me to accomplish past goals and have a positive impact on staff and clients. I am an enthusiastic, self-motivated, result-driven team player with a high level of commitment to exert every effort to ensure that the goals of all stakeholders are met. I am confident that my background uniquely qualifies me the position with your company. I'd appreciate the opportunity to meet with you and discuss how my employment would be an asset to your organization.
