Dear Ms Graham,

As an industry veteran, I am presently looking for just the sort of Correctional Officer position that you are advertising on the Dayjob.com website.

I am trustworthy enough to be in a position of authority over inmates.

As per your requirements I can establish and maintain positive working relationships with prisoners from all social and cultural backgrounds. I will use my superb communication skills to motivate prisoners into doing what is best for themselves and others around them.

With my ability to accurately interpret and apply rules, regulations, policies, and procedures, you can rely on me never overstep the mark. I will always work within any SOP’s and according to the law. Additionally, I will use both my training and common sense to quickly determine the best course of action in any given situation.

Recently I have been employed by …………. where I have played a vital part in making the correctional facility a safe place to work and live.  As part of my duties, I have occasionally had to use my strength to physically subdue unruly inmates, something I do not want to do, but will do if I have to. You can rely on me to perform strenuous tasks requiring muscular strength, coordination, and cardiovascular endurance. Through my long career I have learnt how to create an environment in which everyone feels safe. I have also gained extensive knowledge of individual and group counselling techniques.

Aside from my above competencies, I am prepared to work a rotational 24/7 roster and come in at short notice etc.

At this stage of my career I want to work for an institution like yours that has a good work-life balance, with longer shifts but more days off. I therefore hope my attached resume will entice you enough to invite me for an interview.

Yours sincerely,
