To whom it may concern:

I am a current student at Lamar Institute of Technology and will be graduating from the
Lamar Institute of Technology Dental Hygiene Program on May 11th, 2018. I currently do not
hold state licensure, but I will be taking my licensure examination on May 7, 2018. .However, I
am submitting this resume because I am very interested in possible employment at your
practice. Most of all, I am interested in your practice because, from gathering information from
your website, I see that I would be a perfect fit for your office and would love to be a part of your
staff. I see that your office offers expert dental care while also providing a warm, personal touch
in a comfortable setting. Learning that patient comfort is always a top priority at your office
excites me because this is also a personal goal of mine in my career as a Dental Hygienist. Patient
comfort is at the top of my career goal list, as well as great patient communication, and working
as a team player. I love to help others with being confident in their smile, while educating them
on gaining and maintaining optimum oral care. I will work diligently to exhibit my skills,
knowledge, and work ethic in your practice.

I thank you in advance for reviewing my resume and hope you see that I am a great fit for
your office. I am very dedicated and will work hard to achieve the high goals I have set for myself
and for my patients. I look forward to meeting with you to discuss my possible future with River
Pointe Dental and answer any questions you might have.

Thanks again,

Tara Thompson
