Hamlet Child Development Center

Dear Ms. Carson:

[Thank the interviewer]

Thank you for the opportunity to interview with you yesterday afternoon.
I am very interested in the childcare position you described.

[Highlight your qualifications]

My child development classes, summer jobs, and recent volunteer work as a storybook reader at the community center have prepared me well for a preschool teaching position. I am especially interested in the field trip program you mentioned. I would welcome the opportunity to contribute to that effort.            

[Express interest in the job]

I enjoyed meeting you and your staff and look forward to hearing from you soon. If I can provide any additional information, please call me at (555) 555-5555. Thank you again for your time and consideration.

[Place your phone number near the end]


Sincerely,    

[Sign your first and last name]


John Ryan
