To Whom It May Concern:

Please accept the attached application for the position of Administrative

Assistant.

As you will see on my resume, my most recent position was administrative in

nature. As Administrative Secretary of the Vicar General, second in charge

of the Diocese of Fresno, I dealt with a high volumn of calls, screening

them and assisting those I was able to do without forwarding to the Vicar

General. Responsible for taking messages and delegating response to other

departments when appropriate, my position also required me to prepare for

meetings by preparing agendas, minutes, booking of meeting rooms and

arranging for snacks or meals.

Throughout the year, I coordinated several large events including the

distribution of flyers/event information, receipt and tracking of

registration, deposit of large sums of cash, travel arrangements, audio

visual and meal arangements and hosting of vendors and seeing to their

needs during the events. Throughout my daily activities, the ability to

prioritize and multi-task was essential to meet project deadlines. Salary

requirements are negotiable.

I thank you in advance for your consideration of my application.

Sincerely,

Christine Williams
