Dear Mr. Garcia,
I was recently on your department’s website and saw that you have a number of openings for Probation and Parole Officer. My family and I plan to relocate to the West Coast within the next year. So of course I saw your job opening as a great opportunity.
I am currently with the City, State State Department of Parole. For six years before that I was a corrections officer. You may ask why I have chosen such a challenging and stressful profession. It is because I understand the nature of criminality and believe under proper mentorship people who have made mistakes can change and become productive members of society. My objective as a probation and parole officer is to help people transition from a mistake to moral prosperity. This requires patience diligence and in a lot of cases some serious arm twisting. It also demands knowing when your efforts are wasted and that a client may need to be sent back to prison before they bring further harm to society.
I would certainly like to talk more about why I would be a great Probation and Parole Officer with your department. Contact me for an interview at your earliest convenience.
Best Regards,
Jameson Gould
