Dear Employer:
In response to your recent advertisement posted on the internet regarding
the administrative position, I am enclosing my resume for your review.
Please consider this letter as my formal application presenting my
background, education, and employment experience.
I have approximately three years of administrative experience. I was
employed by Jenny Craig as the receptionist, initially, but was promoted to
a Jenny Craig Consultant after a mere month and a half because of my desire
to learn and my eagerness to excel. However, I still aided with the
receptionist duties while I was employed there. While at RuffaloCODY,
although I fundraised during the shift, prior to and after calling was
completed, I was responsible for ensuring that all of the paperwork and
numbers were updated and sent to my manager, Matthew McCoy. While employed
at Operon Resource Management, I was the administrative assistant for the
On-Site Staffing Coordinator and President of the company.
I have considerable experience in customer relations ranging from being a
waitress at two restaurants to working in retail for four years. In
addition, I am extremely familiar with coping with unexpected situations in
a professional and efficient manner.
I am available for an interview whenever it is convenient for you.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Andressa P. DeSouza
