RE: Office Assistant Position
To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing in response to your ad posted online. I am interested in
applying for the position of Office Assistant with your company. I am a
very dedicated employee and a team player. I enjoy multi-tasking and
working in fast-paced environment. I am a people person and like working
with the public.
I graduated in the spring of '02 from Western Oregon University in
Monmouth, Oregon. I completed a Bachelor of Science degree in Physical
Education with a minor in Health. As my enclosed resume indicates, my work
experience and extracurricular activities have given me opportunities to
work in a variety of fields. There is no doubt that most of my experience
has been in the sports/recreation related areas, but in each of those I was
required to do a variety of administrative tasks. I gained managerial
experience when working for People to People. I feel that I am very
proficient in this area of work and what I do not know, I am prepared to
learn. I am a quick learner, hard worker and willing to do what it takes
to learn the position. I am very willing and eager to become part of your
team.
I would like to schedule an interview with you in your office at your
convenience. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your time
and consideration.
Sincerely,
Marti Fuhriman
