Dear hiring team at the CDA Human Resources,
As an ambitious and enthusiastic dental hygienist, with a passion for health and safety compliance, I was so excited to hear of this position being offered at the CDA. The needs and mission of this job position are of great interest to me; policy and practice advisory are aspects of my career that I have been focused on developing.
After a year in private practice working fulltime, the Bachelor of Dental sciences program offered at UBC was the next step to further my knowledge of my field. Biomedical ethics, policy analysis, health and safety, and epidemiology were areas of great interest that have driven me to expand beyond clinical practice.
I am cross trained in sterilization at my current practice and was passionate during the pandemic and post-pandemic regarding our office’s health and safety practices. Working as a large team of 15+ employees, teamwork and effective communication are at the forefront of our day-to-day functions.
Patient oriented care has been the core of my practice.
Recently I attended a CE course offered by the Ottawa CDA chapter and I was inspired by the talk on policy and practice management, this position would help me greatly further my passions.
I would like to thank you in advance for considering me for this position and for your time. I look forwards to hopefully working with you in the future.
Sincerely,
Olivia Fournier

Dear Dr. Bueller,
I am reaching out to ask you to provide me with a reference for a new opportunity I am seeking with the Canadian Dental Association. Of course, I completely understand if you are unable to commit to this. Please just let me know as soon as possible.
I learned a lot about policy in a dental office, as well as health and safety, and I think you would be able to provide the kind of insight into my skills that would increase my chances of landing this new position. As you know, I have recently been employed at Smyth Dental Centre, as a full-time dental hygienist. The opportunity at the CDA is related but would also require many of the skills learned from you in policy analysis.
Thank you very much for considering my request. I have attached a copy of my updated resume and the job posting for your review. The human resources team at the CDA will be in touch with you should they require your reference.
If you have any questions or need any further information, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Sincerely,
Olivia Fournier
