Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to express my interest in the Correctional Officer role at South Middlesex Correctional Center, as advertised on LinkedIn.com. Upon reviewing the job posting, I was pleased to find that my experience and skills align closely with the requirements of the position.

Currently, I am employed as a Correctional Officer at Suffolk County House of Correction, where my responsibilities include maintaining order within the facility, conducting daily safety, inventory, staff, and weapons audits, preparing confidential reports, monitoring and supervising activities of over 400 inmates, and ensuring compliance with all policies and procedures.

In addition to my ten years of experience in the field, I have successfully completed the Correctional Officer Training Academy (COTA) and graduated in the top 2% of my class. This training, coupled with my professional experience, has equipped me with strong leadership and communication skills that are essential for success in a fast-paced and deadline-driven environment.

As a native Spanish speaker with fluency in English and basic knowledge of German, I am confident in my ability to thrive in a multicultural institution like yours. I am proficient in various software programs, including MS Office, Windows, iOS, and Slack.

I have attached my resume for your consideration and would like to thank you for taking the time to review my application. I am eager to discuss how my skills and experience align with the needs of your organization and look forward to the opportunity to speak with you in the near future.

Yours sincerely,
Ramon Pareja
