Dear Hiring Manager,

It is with great interest that I submit my résumé to you for consideration for the position of Administrative Assistant. As a highly experienced professional with 15 years of hands-on teaching experience and over 10 years of successful business operations, and as an energetic and dedicated individual seeking a new career challenge, I am confident in my ability to become a valuable addition to your staff.

I bring a unique combination of classroom teaching and practical business experience as a previous business owner and manager of two motels, which provides me with a wide knowledge and skill base from which to draw upon. My experience operating my own motels and interacting with individuals of all ages and backgrounds has given me skills in organization, time and office management and the necessary sales skills that will successfully transcend into an administrative position. I am a collaborative individual who adapts easily to new situations and thoroughly enjoys working in a team environment.

I welcome the opportunity to meet with you in person to discuss how my talents and professional background would best fit the needs of your organization. You may contact me at the above phone numbers or email address. Thank you for your time and consideration, and I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Sincerely,

Patricia Elder
