COVER LETTER

To Whom It May Concern:

In addition to information you will find within my resume, I would like to point out that I have all the skills and qualifications that you are seeking in this position. In my role as Executive Assistant/Estate Manager to a US Ambassador, and in my position as Community Association Manager, I have managed properties as well as employees, and budgets, projects, and vendors, and served a high level of confidential clientele.

With a Masters’ Degree in English, my communication skills are very high. I am a proficient writer and am able to compose artfully. I have mastered Office, Word, and Outlook as well as internet researching, and career specific software programs for many years. Additionally, as you mentioned in your job posting, my organizational skills are high and I must have an organized workspace as that is the way my mind works – very organized, methodical and proactive. I can start work immediately as you request in the job description.

I am a self-starter, as evidenced by my years of work as a Realtor, and with my years of teaching: both positions of self-generation of the work effort. I have taught at both the high school and college English levels. I pride myself in my follow through and with “coming full-circle” on projects and assignments.

I appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to discuss your needs, and I am hopeful to work with you in this position. Please contact me with additional questions that you might not find answers to here.
