Proactive Immigration Officer Cover Letter Example

Dear Ms. Unruh,

An associate informed me of the Immigration Officer position available with The GEO Group, Inc. and I would like to take this opportunity to apply for this job.

I have a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and I speak Spanish and English fluently. I am also familiar with two other languages. I meet all of the requirements and I have completed a Federal Career Intern Program where I gained experience working out in the field next to trained professionals, who helped prepare me for this position. This experience includes reviewing the immigration applications and interviewing potential immigrants before allowing them in the country.

I also gained experience researching the background of immigrants to determine their eligibility to make sure they do not pose any safety risk for the country. My research abilities also help to locate illegal immigrants that have already entered the country so they can be deported.

I have the communication skills and the interpersonal skills to communicate with all agencies from the local to the international level. I have critical thinking skills with the ability to solve problems as they arise. I am also very perceptive and I have the ability to make good decisions in a moment’s notice if necessary.

I have taken self-defense classes and weapons training classes that have helped to prepare me for this position. I am physically and mentally fit to hold this job and I am ready to put my skills and training to work for the country.

You can contact me for an interview by calling (555)-555-5555 and I hope to discuss the details of this position with you soon.

Respectfully,

Signature

Susan Crawford
