I’m writing you to inquire about the position for Juvenile Corrections Officer-Intake Clerk for the Youth Center.

I also was trained to make monthly phone calls to the families to check-up and to remind them of the monthly group sessions.

These skills are needed for being an intake clerk due to the individual needing to be understanding and also critical in how to best transition juveniles to have a more productive stay in the center, hopefully to stray away from crime once released. With excellent critical thinking, communication skills, work ethic, and leadership qualities of self-directed environments, I am positioned to top your expectations. I would like to speak with you more to discuss my candidacy and qualifications in more depth. Thank you for your time and
