To Whom It May Concern

I am interested in obtaining a full- time English teaching position. I sincerely believe that I am the right choice and candidate for this position as I pride myself in being patient, creative, independent and responsible.

The qualities I possess are essential to teaching English as a foreign language to children, young adults, and adults living in a foreign country. My preference is to teach adults in the business community or at a university level. I am available from and after September 18, 2012

After graduating with my Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology/Psychology in January, 1966, I knew I wanted to continue working to help people improve their verbal skills and increase cultural understanding.

My education did not stop there as I completed most of the work toward obtaining my Master’s Degree in Child Psychology while teaching. I did not write my Master’s Thesis as I left to enroll in law school.

Mastery of the English language became, of necessity, very important both when obtaining my Juris Doctor and my Master’s of Law and the following 25 years as a law practitioner. The English language became my everyday tool.

I have recently completed the 120 hour TEFL professional certification course and in doing so learned a great deal more, and refreshed what I already knew, about the complexities of the English language.

I am interested in experiencing other cultures and have already done so in my many trips to Central America, Canada, Europe, the Mideast, Asia and elsewhere in the World.

Cultural diversity is something I value greatly and gaining cultural perspectives has become important to me. My desire to teach in a foreign country and explore its culture has been with me for a long time.

I would appreciate if you would review my resume’, a copy of which is attached, and consider me as a candidate for an English teaching position. Please state salary in US Dollars.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely, Lorenzo (Lawrence) Schechterman

If the foregoing is an inquiry about teaching English in Costa Rica, you should be aware that

– the opportunities are severely restricted,

– the pay is extremely low,

– the likelihood of finding full-time work is virtually nil, and

– the process of becoming a [u]legal[/u] worker here would test the patience of a saint.

If this is your objective, you really should consider something else unless you would be totally financially independent of any earnings from your teaching.

This idea has been addressed at great length in this and other venues. The answer is always the same.
