Hello,

I am writing to express my interest in an Administrative Assistant position with your organization. I am

a mature, individual; who is passionate about helping others.

My most recent work experience was in retail where I was quickly promoted into a leadership

position. My job duties included, entering transactions into a POS system, customer service,

following floor plans, supervising staff, and completing necessary paperwork. I have had recent office

experience through an internship with Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri, where I prepared documents,

answered phones, and supported the department staff. I have experience in events, grant writing

and fundraising through my educational activities, volunteer work with Girl Scouts of Eastern

Missouri, and my volunteer position on Community Council of St. Charles' 60th Anniversary planning

committee. Through these experiences I created donation letters, solicited for monetary and in-kind

donations, managed volunteers and wrote a successful grant. Other skills that I have gained include

program development, leadership, scheduling, managing volunteers, leading small and large groups

and working with children and adults. I have the ability to communicate effectively, both verbally and

written, and I am knowledgeable with PC and Microsoft Office products, plus I possess the ability to

learn new programs effectively and efficiently. In addition, I am comfortable working independently

and as team member. I possess strong human relation and leadership skills, and I am organized,

energetic, and dependable.

I am recent graduate of Lindenwood University where I obtained a B.A. degree in Nonprofit

Administration and a minor in Recreation. My coursework included Nonprofit and Volunteer

Management, Leadership, Marketing, HR Management, Fundraising and Grant Writing, Recreation

Program Planning, and Outdoor Education, Therapeutic Recreation and Event Management.

Please let me know if I can provide you with further information on my background and qualifications.

I look forward to hearing from you. Thank You for your consideration.

Sincerely,

K imberly Smith
