I am writing to express my interest in applying for an office clerk or administrative position with
your company.
You may be interested to know that I have experience in both administrative work, through
working as a front desk agent at Holiday Inn Express, as well as in customer service. My
experience at the Holiday Inn have equipped me with the skills that will help me excel in your
company. Skills such as performing repetitive task effectively as well as efficiently. Skills to
preform data entry tasks with utmost accuracy. Being able to answer phone calls in a professional
manner. The ability to work both independently, in the evening and night shifts where I am by
myself and must tend to everything, as well as a part of the team, in the morning where I must
work co-ordinate with the housekeeping staff as well as maintenance to get rooms and facilities
prepared for the guest. It has also given me the skills to work under pressure and meet tight
deadlines for when I am performing tasks for the general manager or setting up reservations for
guests. Also my years of experience in customer service have equipped me with skills to serve
customers in a professional manner.
I have graduated high school with honors and I am currently in my third year at York University in
their bachelor of business administration program. I have taken many computer software and
hardware classes which has given me the ability to learn new software’s and programs quickly. I
am also able to use Microsoft Word and Excel and have a little experience with quick books as
well. I also have excess to a vehicle and a “G” license.
I am a hard working individual, having started work in the early age of 14, and have learned to
balance work, school and personal life. I am flexible & highly adaptable to different work practices.
I have gained the ability to work for long hour while maintaining good work habits and attitude. I
have learned to take shorter breaks if necessary to get a task done and to finish any job I am
assigned before I leave.
To this end I am enclosing my resume outlining my education, and working experience for your
consideration.
.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Umer Sharif
