Dear Sir or Ma’am:
I am interested in the position as an administrative assistant. I learned of this position from an
online website, indeed.com. After viewing the website I became interested with the opportunity
to work for this company.
Based on the criteria provided in the job posting, I consider myself to be an essential fit for your
organization. Throughout my life I have always considered myself a hard worker. Growing up in
a tourist town has enabled me to work with a diverse group of people. I work well with others in
a respectful manner. Also, I consider myself organized, and able to multi-task. As a personal
rule, I apply my work ethic to everything I do, especially my education. Learning new skills and
gaining more knowledge each day enables me to make a difference in whatever I do.
Currently, I am gaining knowledge while attending South Dakota State University. I will
graduate December 2010. My major is Consumer Affairs with a minor in business. My degree
will cover a multiplicity of essential subjects, which will not only improve my personal skills,
but allow me to be a great asset to a team as well. Please review my resume for further
qualifications.
Contact me for further questions or concerns pertaining to my qualifications. You can reach me
anytime after 3:00 P.M. on my cell phone 605-***-****. If I am not available, please leave a
voicemail and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you for your time and
consideration. I hope to hear back from you soon.
Sincerely,
