Re: online posting for PRN PTA position

To Human Resources

I was excited to see your opening for a PRN PTA position in the Kennesaw area, and I hope to be invited for an
interview.

My qualifications include holding an Associate Degree as a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant. My background
includes experience in outpatient, skilled nursing, inpatient hospital, and assisted living. I currently work in
outpatient as the Physical Therapy Clinical Coordinator. The company is only open Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday. I also currently work some PRN with a home health company. I have much experience working with the
geriatric population. I excel with meeting productivity standards.

I am confident that I can offer the problem solving and critical thinking skills you are seeking. I am a passionate
therapist that makes treating and improving the quality of life of my patients my top priority.

Feel free to contact me at 404-637-8954 to arrange an interview. Thank you for your time -- I look forward to
learning more about this opportunity!

Sincerely,

Caleb Eaves
