To Whom It May Concern:
Personal relationships and quality administrative support are my passion!
So, when a life change occurred that will lead me to Winston-Salem, North
Carolina, I began looking for position openings in surrounding areas in my
current field of Human Resources Administrative Support at the YMCA of
Greater Indianapolis; where I can further challenge myself to grow, learn,
and hone my skill set that I have been developing in my previous positions.
Upon searching for open positions, I was immediately interested in the
position of an Administrative Assistant at your business.
As a lifelong learner and Administrative Assistant, it is with considerable
interest that I enclose my resume in response to your vacancy.
As you will note from my resume, the requirements for this position are in
alignment with my background. In my past positions, I have come to hold
fast to three basic principles of success:
. always do what I say I am going to do;
. always give more than what is expected; and
. set, envision, share and take action on my goals
While I do realize that jobs that typically attract an overwhelming number
of applicants, location will and should get factored in. Because I believe
that finding a right "fit" is so important to both an employer as well as a
job candidate, I would fully expect and be willing to pay all relocation
expenses including flights to your city for a possible interview should my
resume warrant further consideration.
My attached resume highlights accomplishments and related experience to
your opening. I am confident that I can make immediate and valuable
contributions to your organization. Thank you for your time and
consideration. I look forward to hearing from you in the future.
Sincerely,
Jennifer A. Stines
