To Whom It May Concern:
I saw your posting online and wanted to reply right away. After carefully reading your posting, I imagine that I understand the needs of your unique working environment and have the experience and skills necessary to be successful in this position.
I have six years of administrative experience, and 2 years of management experience. I'm very organized and driven. I excel at planning and executing large projects, work well independently, and am detail oriented. I have a strong rapport with clients, and show sensitivity to their concerns both in person and over the phone.
I am currently employed as the night manager of the Capitola Fairfield All Suites where I am primarily responsible for auditing and maintaining recorders of our hotels overall performance. I also have six years of audit and reception experience at the University Inn and Conference Center. The time I spent there has given me a strong background in a wide range of organization approaches, and a great feel for client needs and concerns.
Thank you for reviewing my letter of interest. I've included my résumé below.
Sincerely yours,
Nicole Hicks
