Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing with interest great interest in the position of Office Administration Assistant.

During my 24 years experience as an Administrative Assistant with the City of Toronto, I have gained a comprehensive knowledge of SAP/TES, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Gmail and Outlook. Working in various positions in the local office has also given me the opportunity to work with the general public and staff at all levels, thus enhancing my ability to communicate effectively.

Being the Administrative Assistant supporting the Director, Social Services, the Manager, Social Services and the Community & Labour Market Manager, my responsibilities varied and I effectively managed a variety of tasks simultaneously. During my eight years experience in this position, I have demonstrated my ability to exercise independent judgement, and discretion in dealing with confidential matters. I work well under pressure and enjoy the challenges presented to me.

I was actively involved in various special projects and committees in the Local Office. I have been a member of the Local Operations Committee where I represented the Administrative Support Team and served on the Client Advisory Committee. Other involvement included the 40th Anniversary Committee of the East Toronto Social Services.

Given the opportunity to perform in this position, I feel confident I would have the skills and experience required in making a signification contribution to your company.

I look forward to hearing from you on this opportunity.
