Dear Mr. Jackson:

When I learned of Peterson Dormitory’s need for a Residence Hall Director to join its staff for the 2018-2019 school year, I quickly decided to submit my resume for consideration. As an experienced and motivated professional with exceptional leadership and interpersonal abilities, I am prepared to significantly contribute to your objectives for this role.

My background includes leading operations, teams, and staff in vibrant campus dormitories to ensure excellent resident experiences. From facilitating meetings and supervising student conduct to handling crises and enforcing policies, I excel at performing all aspects of residence hall responsibilities while connecting quickly and openly with students to build strong and trusting relationships.

Highlights of my experience include:

Thriving as a Residence Hall Assistant Director for the past three years in the Fairhaven Dormitory at University of Tennessee, providing 24/7 coverage and overseeing day-to-day functions for 275+ student residents; promoted from previous position as Residence Hall Assistant.

Developing hiring materials, training curriculum, and performance appraisal tools for paraprofessional staff; effectively coaching and managing graduate students and staff.

Creating in-house trainings, events, and other programs focused on diversity, inclusion, social justice, sexual assault prevention and social media dangers.

Writing and continually updating the Resident Assistant Training Manual for ongoing reference for staff.

Demonstrating solid time management and organizational skills, Microsoft Office proficiency, and student counseling and support strategies.

My skills in residence facility oversight and team leadership have been finely honed, and I am confident my additional strengths will readily translate to your environment. The chance to offer more insight into my qualifications would be appreciated. Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Sincerely,

Leslie N. Cole
