Dear National Staffing Recruitment Team:
Picture an energetic and driven individual who is hungry for knowledge,
inspired to exceed expectations, patient, organized and resourceful. These
qualities, along with proven skills in office management, executive
support, and customer service make me an excellent candidate for the Office
Assistant position advertised on www.resumebook360.com
My educational and professional achievements demonstrate the necessary
skills to meet and exceed the expectations of the Office Assistant
position. As Administrative Assistant at Martin Machine and Welding, Inc.,
I developed my skills in office management, overseeing the daily functions
such as filing, billing, data entry, and planning and managing the daily
schedule of the President and Co-President. As Store Manager at Victoria's
Secret Stores, Inc., I utilized a computer based system to compose the
weekly schedule, actively recruited and facilitated the training of new
associates to company programs and selling behaviors, and maintained a
confidential and well organized employee file system. The team atmosphere
that I provided encouraged associates to meet their goals and helped us to
become the #1 store in percent to sales plan in our district during Holiday
2007. As Assistant Product Manager at The Coleman Company, Inc., I
developed and maintained innovative spreadsheets used by our entire team to
track items setups, product development, and sample evaluations. These
tools allowed us to improve efficiency, vendor communication and product
quality. In this very fast paced multi-tasking environment, I utilized
Microsoft programs such as Word, Outlook, Excel and PowerPoint to manage
many of my daily functions including communication with our overseas
vendors, planning and follow-up to team meetings, and sales presentation
creation. In turn, I received a ranking of Exceeds Expectations on my 2009
performance review in Communication and Interpersonal Skills.
I have recently moved to the Spokane area and am seeking a rewarding
career. I have consistently met and exceeded the expectations of my past
employers and am confident that I will deliver the same level of
performance as Office Assistant. I would love to meet with you to further
discuss how I can be an asset to the company as Office Assistant. Please
contact me by phone at 316-***-**** or by email at **********@*****.***
to schedule an interview and further discuss my qualifications.
Thank you sincerely for your time and consideration,
Erica D. Winter
