To Whom It May Concern:

Punctuality, Consistency, and Adaptability are what I have to offer as your

next Dental Assistant. As a student at Platt College I always arrived 30

minutes early in order to study and prepare for the day. Besides being

early, I NEVER MISSED A DAY of my training or my internship experience. As

you can see from my employment history, I have always spent a considerable

amount of time with my employers and have always held a job. Last, but not

least, I can adapt to changing situations or instructions. As a Dental

Assistant, I know that not all procedures are the same and that even

similar ones are unique for each patient. If you are looking for someone

who will come to work early, show up every day, and effectively assist you,

then I believe I am the right Dental Assistant for you. Please feel free

to call me at any time; I am available for a formal or working interview at

your convenience. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

DeeDee Mason, DA
