Dear Sir or Madam:
I am actively seeking an administrative opportunity. For the past two
years I have maintained a demanding, fast-pace office environment. I have
also served as an administrative assistant for twelve years, maintaining a
busy New York City governmental agency.
I have strong client service orientation, excellent communication and
organizational skills, with computer experience.
Along with general clerical skills, and administration skills, I have
assisted in the growth and the maintaining of an office by setting up
protocols, creating various types of reports, maintaining programs, daily
reports and maintaining company calendars. I had also maintained executive
expense reports, calendars and prepared traveling arrangements.
I posses a professional demeanor and the ability to successfully handle
multiple tasks simultaneously. I am knowledgeable and have experience with
computer programs, like Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, and
PowerPoint) and Windows XP.
I am confident I would prove to be an asset to your organization. I
welcome the opportunity of speaking with you to discuss the position
further.
Sincerely,
Ashaki M. Gooden
Encl.
