Thank you for considering me for your Administrative Assistant position. I am presently in the process of separating from the United States Air Force after amassing 30 years of experience in Administrative Support, Personnel Management, Budgeting and the Intelligence Collection environments. I am looking forward to continuing to serve our country in a civilian capacity.

I feel my experience as the Operations Coordinator of Defense Attaché Offices within multiple U.S. embassies since 2006, a position incredibly similar to the position you are looking to fill, is the perfect precursor to employment with your organization. As the Operations Coordinator I ran a diverse office of U.S. and foreign national personnel in accomplishing a critical intelligence collection mission that was very successful. More importantly, I was the right hand to the Senior Defense Official in each country, serving as his/her “gate keeper”. I was responsible for ensuring the office operated within guidelines stipulated in Defense Intelligence Agency directives. This required me to provide assistance, both up and down the chain, to clarify policy. I also wrote, edited, and generated hundreds of correspondence annually while managing the performance of seven staff members and supporting the efforts of four military attachés. In addition, I was responsible for overseeing and implementing the security and safety programs, controlling $2Mil in inventory, executing the annual budget and assisting with the direction of the intelligence collection mission. It was also my job to represent the Senior Defense Official on the embassy country team meeting with the Ambassador if his schedule didn’t allow his attendance. I arranged all of the team’s travel requirements, managed seven government property leases, oversaw the Government Purchase Card program and managed the Senior Defense Officials calendar while providing him a copy of his daily appointments. I was responsible for coordinating the logistical support for visiting dignitaries to include numerous General Officers, Congressional Delegations, Service Secretaries, and assisted our state department counterparts with a visit by VPOTUS. A review of my program by the Inspector General in both 2009 and 2012 resulted in no discrepancies being noted, and my budget execution was identified as the most effective in the Latin American Region, with a 99.75% budget execution effectiveness rate. I understand the group dynamic. Loyalty, both up and down the chain, is my greatest asset, and I enjoy collaboration which maximizes team effectiveness, understanding this is the key which guarantees an organization’s success.

My education has had a heavy emphasis on program management and my Air Force career has been broad, with a strong emphasis on administration, resource management, and security, strengths I feel transfer readily into this position. I have completed 133 semester hours towards a Bachelor of Arts in Business Management with Thomas Edison State College. I have held a Top Secret Security Clearance (TS/SCI w/polygraph) that was adjudicated 19 April 2013, and am fluent in Spanish and German, and competent in Serbo-Croatian.

Please feel free to contact me at 850-***-**** if I can be of assistance, at your convenience.

Respectfully

Joel S. Lee
