Hello, I am writing to you today to express interest about the open Volunteer Coordinator Position. I heard about this open position in the Ann Arbor Hands On Museum Website and I am very interested in the position. I believe that I would be well suited for this position for various reasons. While working for the Department of Public Safety at Siena Heights University as a Dispatcher, I was promoted to be a Welcome Center Coordinator. As a Welcome Center Coordinator for the Department of Public Safety,I have been expected to be a leader to my other coworkers, helping them as needed, scheduling their hours, as well as evaluating their work. I have also been expected to recruit, and train new employees to ensure they can fulfill the demanding job requirements. I would be able to utilize this prior experience when working with the museum's volunteers. Other skills I have gained by working as a Dispatcher and a Welcome Center Coordinator are as follows: customer service, leadership, organization, time management, critical thinking, and computer skills. Another skill I am proud to have, is the ability to teach others. I worked for two years as a high school bowling coach at Sand Creek High School and as a History Tutor. In my time as a coach, I was expected to work with the youth and teach them the sport of bowling. During this time, I was able to work with a variety of students. For example, I had the pleasure of coaching both cognitively impaired, and foreign exchange students. These students allowed me to grow as a coach because I had to change my teaching style to ensure they learned the sport. As a tutor, I worked with my fellow students to ensure they understood the material covered in class, as well as help them formulate their …show more content…
I will be able to learn and contribute to the museum if I gain this position. Thank you for your time and
In Stephen Weil’s essay, he argues “the museum’s role has transformed from one of mastery to one of service” (Weil, 196). According to him, museums have changed their mission from one that cultures the public to one that serves

In closing, I would like to restate my interest in the Student Advisor position with the Somewhere Internship and Career Center for the 2001-2002 academic year.
What experiences have you had which prepare you for this position (e.g perhaps as an employee, leader, or working with people different from yourself, etc)?
As we reach the museum, the exterior was very beautiful. The first things I saw were the bronze statues in the front. We took a couple of pictures in front of them and in front of the Norton Simon. The entrance where the glass doors had sat was very unique and elegant. The glass walls that the glass doors were attached to, added to the elegance and beauty. When I had first walked in, I was very shy, timid, and unwilling to go on, this was due to the more mature audience that I had seen when I had first entered the museum. I was still unsure on how to act in a museum, being this my first time, so I was very calm, cool and reserved, but as time went on I saw college students my age probably doing the same thing I was doing. So I then I felt more at ease. Plus my girlfriend was with me so I was not alone.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art came about as an idea from Jon Jay in Paris, France in 1866 with the idea of “national institution gallery of art” within the United States. Once this idea was proposed, it was immediately moved forward with his return to the United States. With the help of the Union League Club in NY they began to acquire civic leaders, businessmen, artists, and collectors who aided in the creation of the museum. For over 140 years, the visitors who go here have received everything the mission of the institution states.
Over the years I have been very involved in my community and school. Being a part of something helps to define who you are as a person and the principles and values you hold as important. A personal experience that helps to show my talents and skills can be illustrated by my trip to Italy last April with the MHS Language Department.

It was probably by good luck that I saw the sign about leadership positions by the elevator considering I, being a rambunctious spirit, prefer taking the stairs; but regardless, by the encouragement of others I’m determined now that I’ll persuade you to choose me amid others for this opportunity to assist residents, students and the many artists which make up MIAD’s great community. I’m not certain of what makes an excellent leader at MIAD, maybe you don’t know exactly either, but I believe that my skills and attitude would be a positive addition to any program as I’m always ready to learn, teach and share moments. After falling into a fit of admiration for this school and the unique challenges it brings to me every day, I’ve become excited to be a part of its workings. I’d like to be someone who can help others acclimate here and give them the sense of belonging that I have received. An environment without people that care is not much of an environment at all, and I know I can be one of those people. If there’s anything I’m good at it’s creating interesting conversations, making lively connections with people, bringing humor to
