To the Human Resources Dept.:
My name is Lance Cox.
I'm responding to the posted job opening on resumebook360.com regarding the
Admin Assistant Temp-Perm position. I have 15 years experience, through
collaborating with co-workers within document processing centers, of
providing document/clerical support for corporate attorneys, and for
interdepartmental needs of such departments as marketing, attorney
recruiting, and on-site print production in deadline-driven environments.
I've produced documents with advanced textual, graphical, and
presentational formats using advanced knowledge of Word, Excel, and
PowerPoint. Such an environment requires coordinating with many people on
many levels including co-workers, requiring a team-player mentality with a
focus for problem-solving, communication, accuracy, timeliness and results.
I trust that you would find that these qualities can translate into your
finding me to be one who can perform my job with all necessary cooperation,
communication, reliability, and stability.
I am married and own a home in Freehold NJ. I have worked in the New York
area since 1996.
Thank you,
Lance C Cox
