Other Comments
I am interested in applying for the teacher position. I believe my experience working as an teacher with government schools makes me well qualified for the position. Please find my resume attached.
I have five years of experience working as teacher with several schools in Iraq and USA private school. As the Director of Human Resources for Titan Linguistic Corporation, I recruited Iraqi interpreters to work with the US Army, which included interviewing, training, and scheduling the interpreters. I also maintained the file system that tracked the available and active linguists. As an administrator with Washington Group and First Iraqi Contract Company, I was responsible for tasks such as data entry, answering phones, photocopying, faxing, filing, and scheduling. My extensive work experience with companies that provided foreign language services makes me highly qualified for the Staff Assistant position. Furthermore, my native fluency in Arabic would also be an asset.
I would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you in further detail about my qualification. You may reach me at (240) 898-6776 or at Nooralhooda_2006@yahoo.com. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Rasha Alabswy
