1 Cover Letter & Resume Vice-President of Coaching Church Leader Insights With Nelson Searcy

2 COVER LETTER Welcome! Hey Nelson- welcome to my cover letter! I know that probably sounds pretty ridiculous- me welcoming you to my cover letter! But I will be honest, I am not going for normal here maybe not even sane! I am so excited about your open position: Vice-President of Coaching that I can barely contain myself okay maybe I am exaggerating a little bit- BUT I am pretty excited. As far as exaggerations go, you won t find many on my resume. You won t be reading that I spearheaded a church-wide expansion project that reached thousands of people in our community when all I did was suggest that we have a Trunk or Treat! Everything that you will read on my resume is exactly as it is and I am fully available by phone (not that I am sitting by my phone this very moment waiting) to answer any questions about my resume or clarify my qualifications as your potential Vice-President of Coaching. Because- let s be honest, it would be really embarrassing for me to move my entire family down to Boca Raton, Florida and not be able to deliver because I have no idea what I am talking about. Although there is a LOT that I still have to learn, I believe this could be an amazing collaboration! But I will let God and you decide **ALSO- here is a quick video I made for you: Oh, by the way, my name is and here is my story in resume form
