How Do You Work At Bellevue?

 

Dear [Supervisor],

 

I hope that this note finds you well! My name is Anna and I am finishing up my Master's degree in Forensic Psychology at John Jay. I hope to complete an externship next semester; Bellevue Hospital seems like a natural fit for me. I've spent a good portion of my time at John Jay serving people with severe mental illnesses in different correctional facilities and other forensic spaces across New York, and I'm confident that I can bring what I've learned to a place like Bellevue.
 
I was hoping you could send me the requirements for applying to extern with you and your team. I talked with our resident program advisor and she passed along your contact information. I'm attaching a copy of my CV for you but I'd be happy to send you whatever else I need to be fully considered; I imagine you'd like to see a writing sample, a personal statement, and/or a letter of recommendation.
 
Thank you for your consideration. I would welcome the chance to further discuss this opportunity. If you have any questions for me, please feel free to contact me.
 
Best regards,
-Anna Giannicchi
 
 
Dear Anna,
 
Your CV is impressive. Tell me more about YOU. Please forward a letter of intent describing specifically what you hope to gain from this journey. Give it some thought. Bellevue is a highly charged and difficult environment. I am sure you know the answers. Convince me.
 
-[Supervisor]
 
 
And I did.
