Dear Sir/Madam,

I have recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in General Psychology from the
University of the Southern Caribbean, in July 2023. However, the main goal is to enhance my
expertise in the field of Psychology as a Lecturer. Psychology helps clients to address the
emotional issues incurred due to behavioural, economic and health problems. There is no doubt
in my mind that I will make a difference in the lives of those who would be under my charge,
both clients and students. After much thought and the drive strength to make a greater impact
within society as a change maker, I wish to be considered an applicant for the Psychology
Lecturer position. As a matter of fact, I would be thrilled to be a part of this prestigious learning
institution. Furthermore, I aim to enhance my expertise through periodical training and scholastic
achievements, to better serve humanity.

Moreover, my skills and experience should serve as a means to consider me for the above
position. Nine (9) years of experience in teaching has enabled me to develop the ability to
connect with people on a daily basis, enhance computer-literacy skills, handle registration
records, coordinate meaningful events and staff developments, communicate verbally with
colleagues, students, and parents, complete daily, weekly and monthly records, remedy problems
in the most effective way when the need so arises and possess the ability to multi-task, research,
observe, counsel and/or advice students and their parents. Thus, I am eager to enhance my
portfolio.

I have enclosed a curriculum vitae which gives details of my skills, qualifications and
experience. I should be glad to attend an interview at your convenience. Thanks, in anticipation
of your response.

Yours Sincerely,

Viviannee Edwards
