Administrative Assistant High School
Resume:
To whom it may concern:
My name is Melissa Grindstaff and I feel I could be a great asset to your hospital. I am
looking to relocate from Columbia, MO to the KC area. I am a full-time online student at
Columbia College and will be receiving my degree this December in Human Services. I have
strong people skills and I enjoy helping others. I believe that I am a team oriented worker and I
like to get things done quickly, but correctly. I can assure you that I am a dependable and hard
worker (I worked full time up until 3 days before my son was born).
If given the chance, I would do everything I could to positively affect your hospital. I
believe that the previous jobs I have held will benefit your company, considering they are so
diverse. Please let me know if you need any other information or have any questions/concerns.
Sincerely,
Melissa J.Grindstaff
