Letter of Interest for Paraprofessional Position

Updated on: April 12, 2022

Do not let the term “letter of interest” confuse you when you are asked to provide one by an employer. It is nothing more (or less) than a regular cover letter.

In actuality, a cover letter also shows a candidate’s interest in a job, so typically, all cover letters are letters of interest as well.

If you look at it from the employer’s end, he might ask you to write a letter of interest (and not a cover letter) because of your particular position – usually that of an entry-level.

Or, at the entry level, you might be looking for an unadvertised position, which is where a letter of interest comes in.

Through a letter of interest, you can let an employer know that you are interested in the Paraprofessional position and are available for hire.

The major content of a letter of interest remains the same – the same old rigmarole of skills and qualifications.

The point is to market your abilities in a way that the reader has no choice but to pick up the phone and arrange an interview with you.

Let us now take a look at a sample letter of interest for a paraprofessional position:

Ms. Georgina Boyd
Principal
Corrington Preschool
4830 5th Avenue
New York, NY 28373

Dear Ms. Boyd:

I am writing to inquire about possible paraprofessional vacancies at Corrington Preschool. Even if there are no immediate positions that need to be filled, I would appreciate receiving my application so that I can be registered with your office as and when one opens up.

Two months ago, I obtained my teaching assistance certificate from St. Peter’s Academy. Owing to a strong interest in preschool education, I have also obtained Montessori training alongside and will be awarded my diploma very soon.

Having studied preschool education as a subject, I am well-versed in implementing an integrated individualized program, which caters to students’ needs perfectly. In a paraprofessional role, I will be able to assist lead teachers by virtue of exceptional skills in research, education material management, and classroom handling.

My credentials will be available to you for inspection as and when you require them. I look forward to having a personal interview with you at a mutually agreeable time. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Samantha Freeman
