"As a recent graduate, I'm eager to find my first position to start my career. In reading the job description, I really aligned with the NHS's mission and values. As I read further, I was excited to see that I met all of the minimum qualifications and possessed all the skills required to carry out each responsibility and duty of the job. I'm most excited by the opportunity to work with those suffering from mental health disorders as this has been my area of focus in University, and I feel I have a lot to offer patients to improve their quality of life."
