To the Director of Human Resources,
I am currently seeking a position as an administrative assistant in a
corporate setting. Having a passion for administrative efficiency, I draw
much satisfaction from my work, knowing that I have assisted my team in
organization and communication.
My post-graduate experiences have been within the field of customer
relations. Currently holding a position at a bustling mid-sized hotel just
south of Pittsburgh, I have furthered my organizational and communication
skills by managing a multitude of daily tasks in an efficient and
professional manner. This experience has afforded me the opportunity to
interact with upper management in a very professional setting. Frequently
lending my administrative and organizational services to the managerial
team, I have often taken the initiative to complete memos, compile and
submit reports, and complete various tasks with efficiency and punctuation.
In addition, my degree in business marketing has prepared me for the
problem solving and analytical aspects of this position. Combined with my
natural ability to learn and adapt quickly, and my passion for excellence
in business administration, I am confident a position as an administrative
assistant is excellent fit for my skill set.
As I look forward to a career in administrative assistance, I fully
appreciate and admire the hard work the administrative staff at my own
college demonstrated, as they benefited everyone around them with their
natural ability to prioritize and execute a variety of tasks. Through
professional communication and organization, my goal is to ensure that
everyone within the office is able to perform at their most productive
level.
As such, I would happy to contribute my problem solving, organizational and
business skills to benefit your organization. I am eager to hear how I
might serve your office needs. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely yours,
Amy Dawes
