To Whom It May Concern:
I am extremely interested in the Human Resources Assistant position. I
graduated in 2008 from Azusa Pacific University with a Bachelor of Arts
Degree in Communications with emphasis in Interpersonal and Organizational
Communications and believe my qualifications to be consistent with those
desired by your firm.
Throughout my collegiate career, I have attempted to stay well-rounded,
combining academic excellence and concentrated studies with solid work
experience. Whether it was achieving a 3.6 GPA towards my major or
graduating the four-year program in just three years, I have consistently
excelled.
In addition to my academic achievements, I have also gained valuable
knowledge through my work experiences. At Calvary Chapel Yorba Linda, as
the head preschool teacher for the 3- year old class I have had the
opportunity to share my faith through speech, actions and by nurturing the
families and children I meet. As the Admissions Representative at Modern
Technology School, I am surrounded by a diverse group of people and
confidently coordinate the direction of the program. Serving as the office
manager for an upscale dental office, I coordinated treatment plans,
financial options, work closely with insurance companies, and maintain the
office schedule. As a server for The Cheesecake Factory, I provided
exceptional customer service, ensuring complete guest satisfaction. These
experiences developed my communication skills and my ability to work
effectively with a wide variety of people. I am confident that my studies
and work experience would allow me to provide many substantial
contributions to your program.
I welcome the opportunity to meet with you and share more about my
capabilities and the ways I can contribute to your team. Thank you for your
time and courtesy in reviewing this material and for considering my
qualifications for the Human Resources Assistant position.
Sincerely,
Paige Dow
