Dear Mr. Patrina:

I am very interested in obtaining the position of Dental Assistant in your Clinic.

Please find enclosed my resume, which will acquaint you with my background and experience. As a recent graduate of the Dental Assisting program at Portland Community College, I am qualified to perform the chairside assisting duties that you listed in your advertisement. I completed a ten-week externship program at Kaiser Permanente which enhanced my skills and professionalism required in such a demanding job. I continue to maintain my skill level by volunteering at the Washington County Health Services in their Dental Office.

I am enthusiastic about my job and take my duties very seriously so that my learning pace is very rapid. I am particularly interested in the Cooperville Dental Clinic because of the diverse clientele that you see and the opportunity it would provide to continue learning.

If you have further questions or if you would like to schedule an interview, please do not hesitate to call me at 503.555.5555. Thank you for you time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Cordially,

Isabella Crane
