Dear Hiring Manager,

As a former Volunteer Firefighter and ex-army officer, I apply with enthusiasm for this front line emergency relief coordination opportunity.

Until my recent move from Texas, I was an on-call Emergency Relief Coordinator with the Halliwell Emergency Relief Enterprise (HERE), where I responded to human relief efforts following large-scale disasters such as flooding, fires, and accidents. While efficiently coordinating teams of professionals and volunteers, I assisted with on-the-ground relief efforts such as clothing and food distribution, PPE distribution, information dissemination about legal rights and government/charitable resources, and emergency accommodation sourcing. 

I was also an on-call firefighter with the Sunnybank Township Volunteer Corp., and previously spent 23 years with the US Army. I am therefore used to dealing practically with sudden and unpredictable scenarios where a cool head and rational thinking are crucial to mission success. I have a long track record in working calmly under pressure, operating both independently and as part of a team, and effectively coordinating front line efforts with local services.

Please find attached my résumé for your consideration. Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Jeffrey Chang
