Hello,
I was very excited to see your job listing on craigslist. I am applying for the position because I am
looking to be gainfully employed in this field. Collectively, I have three years of experience as an executive
assistant or receptionist. I have most recently worked as a household manager while I completed my college
education, and I'm ready for a change. Although I am currently employed as a receptionist at a family law
firm, it is a part time position with no room to move up in the company or acquire more hours. After
reading the job description you posted, I feel I'm a perfect fit.
I understand you probably receive dozens of applications, and there are a lot of people to choose from for
this position. My hope is that you will call me for an on site job interview so I can talk with you about your
expectations, and discuss my various skills including: organizing, managing data, scheduling, and
communication.
Please give me a call at 314-***-**** to set up an interview day and time that works for you. Thank you
for reading my cover letter and for looking through my attached resume. I look forward to hearing from you
soon.
Sincerely,
Jeanne De Clue
