Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to seek a job opportunity in your institution. My name is Maria Do, 30 years of age, female, single and a Canadian. I got a Master's degree in sociology at Queen’s University. I have been living in Hochiminh City for the

last

three years teaching Academic English at the International School of Business. Before teaching in Vietnam, I used to be a sociologic teacher at a high school in Canada. During eight years of teaching and with my major, I have gained some important skills

such

as problem-solving skills and communication skills that I believe I can work well with students and other fellow teachers. I am interested in the position of conversational English teacher at your institution because I am always passionate about a teaching career, and as English is my first language, I would like to convey the beauty and delicacy of

this

language to Vietnamese students.

In addition

, as know your university is one of the prestigious schools in Vietnam, I would like to find a permanent job so that I can stay in

this

charming country longer. I enclose my resume for your convenience. Should you feel favourably with my application, kindly grant me an interview. Yours faithfully, Maria Do
