Dr.
Mario Bermington,
General Zoo Manager,
The New York Zoological Garden,
1433, America Avenue, New York, 19503
Dear
Doctor Bermington,
Nature Reserve Warden
I am writing to enquire whether there are any vacancies for Zoo
Wardens in the New York City Zoological Garden. I have
recently graduated with a degree in Natural Sciences with Biology.
As
you will see from my enclosed CV I have been active in the field
of conservation for many years now, working for Nature Society
Leadership in the local members’ group, of which I am currently
Chairperson. I have extensive knowledge of the Society and
have close contact with local staff.
My
present job, as Visitor Centre Manager for the Conservation and
Biology Museum of New Jersey, gives me up-to-date knowledge of
conservation issues and contact with people who are interested in
natural history. I have acquired skills in organisation,
budgeting, supervision of staff and site management, all of which
are relevant to the above position.
Studying
part-time, while working full-time, required enthusiasm, energy
and motivation over six years, and I feel that this provides
sufficient evidence of my commitment to a post involving
conservation.
I
am able to take up a position, but if there are no vacancies at
present I would be very happy to be considered for any short term
contracts as a summer warden on your reservation.
I
look forward to hearing from you.
Yours
sincerely,
Robert
