Upon reading the job description you have posted, I am certain I would be a perfect fit for the position at hand. I am extremely computer efficient, and make an excellent assistant/office administrator/support for all who are in need of it in the office when necessary. I possess very good listening skills, am not afraid to ask questions, and am extremely straightforward, acting as a key problem solver when issues may arise.
I have successfully completed my Masters of Arts in Organizational Management with a concentration in Human Resources at Ashford University. I am currently working as an administrative assistant for the Infrastructure Department for The City of Jackson. In a short period of time, I acquired a good understanding of principles and practices of the department, planning, records management and wide-ranging administration. I have also taken on the role and responsibilities in the absence of an office coordinator. My ability to converse efficiently, as well as my writing and analytical skills were all greatly enhanced. I believe my background and skills closely match your job requirements and I am confident I can make a positive contribution to your organization.
I believe I am best fit as an office coordinator for a busy and competitive company. I seem to flourish in that role, and I enjoy the fast paced environment which surrounds such individuals/companies. I work quickly and efficiently under pressure, and truly enjoy being busy.
The position you are looking to fill reads to me as exactly the kind of opportunity for which I have been searching. Please review my attached resume and contact me at your convenience. I thank you for your consideration, and look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
