Dear Hiring Manager,
I am applying for your Distribution Clerk job posting with interest.
I can offer your company my experience as the Executive Administrative
Assistant to President, Marketing Director, and Office Manager as well as
other administrative experience. I have excellent computer skills including
the Microsoft Office Suite, typing 40-45 WPM, and basic QB and accounting
knowledge.
In addition to my experience in an administrative setting, I can
offer over four years of client management experience working in a group
home for adults with disabilities and classrooms for children with
disabilities and behavioral problems. I have worked both as management and
as regular staff at the group home and instructional/clerical assistant in
the classroom. I have experience with client finance management,
scheduling, reports, and inventory, as well as medication dispensing and
other client care. This, as well as other experience, has taught me
excellent problem solving and de-escalation skills in all areas and the
ability to think on my feet to manage problems and still maintain the flow
and order of the day, which is necessary in keeping others happy.
I have excellent communication and customer service skills. I am
detail oriented with great organizational skill. I work well in a
group/team setting, as well as being self-motivated and able to work on my
own. I am very goal and task oriented with the ability to multi-task. I am
able to effectively train and manage both new and existing staff. I have an
ability to teach and interact with people. I always maintain a gracious and
professional manner when communicating with people, including customers and
coworkers. My broad experience and range of skills make me a superior
candidate for this position.
My resume, which is below, provides additional information on my
background and qualifications. I look forward to hearing from you as soon
as possible to arrange time for an interview.
Thank you for your consideration,
