thank you again for the correction. however, the second cover letter you wrote was limited to nonprofits focusing on humanitarianism. i'm also open to applying for a position in nonprofits focusing on the environment or research. also, i was never "involved in community service and outreach programs offered by the previous institutions i've worked for.

 

one more thing, on the resume that you put together, on the objective, it uses the word "nonprofits," what word can i use to substitute when i 'm not applying at nonprofits?

dear__________________:

 

i am currently seeking a challenging career opportunity in a (insert actual title of target position) capacity and am submitting my resume for your review.  in advance, thank you for your time and consideration.

 

since my career began in the philippines more than 15 years ago, i have always sought out organizations that aligned with my (personal philosophy of humanitarianism/ personal philosophy of environmentalisim / research goals). as i navigated through major banking and insurance organizations, it quickly became clear that i wanted more involvement in community service and outreach programs that was available to me. i wanted to work for an organization whose sole purpose was (humanitarianism / environmentalism / research).

 

in the american cancer society, i was able to realize some of the potential fulfillment that working for a nonprofit organization brings. past support and leadership roles, combined with my passion for (target organization name) s vision of (organization s philosophy) have prepared me for the demands of (job target).

 

in this role, you will find me to be a driven team player committed to delivering superior performance. i am confident that i could be a valuable asset to your operations, and look forward to interviewing with you in the near future.

 

 

 

 

sincerely,
