  • I need help with my cover letter and my grammar is terrible!?

    This is the only place where I thought someone could help me out so I can send this tomorrow at lunch. Feel free to correct it willy nilly.

    Thanks again!! ( The following is the letter.)

    Someone showed me your advertisement for activities personnel Sunday evening and I was eager to learn more about it! I have heard numerous people mention what a wonderful place Home Sweet Home is for seniors, so when I heard this position was available I thought I would stop by as soon as I could. While I was filing out the application, I sat with some individuals on the various couches overlooking the Hudson. The view was so relaxing and we talked about the different boats on the river. What a pleasant experience it was!

    For the last ten years I have worked with disabled seniors and have found it to be very rewarding helping them create a fulfilling life at our center. I worked with management and found opportunities to provide a computer with a large screen TV for our seniors group and tablets for their individual use. Many thought they would never learn how to and weuse modern technology and were pleased to learn they could navigate the internet ! With Google Earth we have been able to visit places where people grew up and discover many new places around the world. We have enjoyed reviving pleasant memories with technology. We can now watch favorite old TV shows that many thought they never would see again (“Chico and the Man”,”Matchgame” and “The $25000 pyramid” are a few of the surprises we were able to find on the web!).

    With my background in the arts we have used pianos, bongos, guitars and other instruments that I have brought in to create entertaining music groups. Karaoke is also a favorite! We have participated in local art shows (we have a watercolor series coming up for the ArtsWalk in Hudson this year), and have begun practicing a form of Tai Chi that I studied at a seminar in Rochester. This course was specifically made for the elderly and disabled and the people I work with love practicing “Chi Time”..

    Often we try to create a college atmosphere and study topics on a week long event. We have studied famous artists, the solar system, deep sea creatures and other themes the seniors have chosen themselves. We try to make most activities more active than passive experiences. Some examples are: using discussion groups after a movie or utilizing many types of bingo games ( food/money/animal bingos ) for a fun learning experience.

    There are many different types of activities we have have done that I think are unique, and to cover them all would make for a very long cover letter!

    Even though I do enjoy my position as counselor, lately my duties as staff trainer, assistant with transportation around the columbia-Greene area, CPR instructor and other staffing duties have distanced me doing what I do best; being a guide and a friend to elders.

    If I could be in an environment where I can concentrate my abilities to help seniors have fulfilling lives, I know that my skills would be utilized to their fullest. Home Sweet Home and it’s friendly atmosphere is an opportunity I would like to learn more about!

    I would like to discuss my background further with you at the opportunity of an interview. Please call me at 518 653 9816. I can usually be reached after 3:30. I can also be contacted at waltermahar@gmail.com.

    Please consider me for volunteer work also, if you feel this position isn’t the perfect fit for me.

  • Zoloft face sagging drooping?

    been taking for a year. the min amount.Zoloft helps me remain even. I don't say stupid things. don't get too emotional. It's very subtle but it realy helps.

    I look like i don't feel well or I look years older. I can see it especially around my mouth...

    I have taken Z before and thought I noticed it. But I am finally going on vacation and I thought I'd stop taking it for a while..I can see the difference already.

    Anybody have any recommendations for the same effect of Zoloft that won't do this?

    THANKS!

  • How much oil left (that can be drilled before collapse). they talk like we got plenty.?

    example:housing rebound 3 yrs. Plugin hybrid available in 2.5 years.

    How in the world are we going to last that long? people are already leaving their cars on the side of the road. Giving up on meat for C. sake.They say the oilbubble will burst, and yet no one talks about where gas prices will level off. It seems that no expert has a clue.

I feel that EVERYONE "gov,stockmarket,the media"is skirting what is on the other side of the wall on this oil spigot. Is there anything there left?
