This cover letter and resume are in regards the opening in your organization. As you may see, I have a degree in Journalism and Marketing, with large experience dealing with media and clients – a great customer service on daily basis. My actual position is working as Administrative Coordinator for an architectural company. I’m in charge of the daily routine in the office, responsible for ensuring that the day runs smooth and keeping everyone happy.

Also, I’m also responsible for taking care of the couriers, organizing the schedule of the meeting rooms, checking the daily organizers of the partners, checking emails and voice-mail messages, distribute the mail, preparing the invoices, managing the internal mail and email, booking trips, typing memos and proposals, inventory and updating the company’s database. Also, I'm in charge of business arrangements, reservations, expenses, payments and events planning. Back in my home country, for over 14 years I'd worked as a media advisory and event planner, coordinating international gatherings, workshops, conferences and warding ceremonies. Also, I use to prepare newsletters and press-releases, magazines and newspapers articles for different clients. I have strong computer skills, especially with PowerPoint, Microsoft Office and Adobe, PC and MAC. The following are just a few of the key competencies that I would bring to this position:

• Committed to achieving corporate objectives
