Dear Hiring Manager,

As an English Professor with 6 years of experience in university, college, and language school settings, I apply with enthusiasm for this opportunity. 

I am currently the Professor of English Language & Literature at the University of Sunnybank in Florida, where I teach English for 21st Century Business, Contemporary English Literature (undergraduate) and Performing Shakespeare (postgraduate). Due to the global pandemic, I have been lecturing, assessing, and grading online (either asynchronously with assignments posted and lectures videoed or synchronously in real-time Zoom meetings), or in-person whenever circumstances enable this.

In addition to my teaching experience, backed by an extensive consulting and publication portfolio, I hold a Master of Education (Major: English Language Education) and a Bachelor of English Literature. I am committed to continual professional development, as demonstrated in my curriculum vitae. 

My current role is very stimulating, and I find great fulfilment in such a wonderful environment. My decision to seek a new position is solely based on our family’s decision to relocate. As such, I aspire to a similarly amazing opportunity where I may make a meaningful contribution to the English program. After researching your institution in detail, I feel confident about our mutual fit.

Please find attached my curriculum vitae for your consideration. Thank you very much for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you regarding my application.

Yours sincerely,

Victoria Smith
