Subject: Application for State Park attendant position
Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to you in response to your advertisement on the Vermont State Parks website about park attendant openings. As someone who grew up visiting the state parks around New England, I understand the impact they can make on an individual. Traveling to different states and seeing the wide variety of parks, Vermont always stood out to me.
I am currently a second year student studying business administration with a minor in animal behavior at the University of New England. I take a wide variety of courses, which have provided me skills in work ethic, leadership and communication. I had previously worked at a summer camp, so being outdoors and loving nature comes naturally to me.
Discovering your advertisement piqued my interest and I would love to bring my experience and skills to your community that already has a strong base and bright future.
Thank you for taking the time to consider my application. I can be reached at (802) 793-7424 or hammyollie@gmail.com. I look forward to hearing from you, I am available in the afternoons.
Sincerely,
Oliver Hammond

When I originally got this assignment I immediately thought that I would do a psych up video because I usually like to get amped up and excited. But that only applies to when I am playing sports or doing something of that category. I thought about it more and when I need to do an interview or am preparing for a big exam, I like to calm myself down. The way I know how to calm down is by just breathing, and using the box breaths method is the best way. Breath in for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, breath out for 4 seconds and hold for 4 seconds. This method helps me get centered and focused on just that one thing, and so there are no other thoughts going through my head.
First off, these pictures are all pictures that I took myself that make me feel relaxed and calm. A good majority of them are sunset pictures, that is because when I watch sunsets, it’s all I am focused on, nothing else matters in that moment. It is almost silent when I watch the sunset. I can’t hear the birds chirping, I can’t hear other people talking, or the music playing. All that I am focused on is the colors changing throughout the sky.
The music in this video is from my yoga playlist. I chose this song because it doesn’t have any words, so you won’t be distracted trying to listen to the lyrics while watching the video. The way the music flows in and out along with the pictures really adds a calming effect to the whole video.
