Dear Hiring Manager,
This letter is to express my interest in the Receptionist/Clerical Position
listed. My administrative background and good people skills make me a viable
candidate. My resume highlights my ability, training, knowledge and expertise
in working on computer systems, Implementing and running different group work
and working with children, Elderly and their families for over seven years.
I have worked closely with the elderly to build self-confidence and promote
participation at Lesiureworld - Tullamore in Brampton. During my time there I
was able to update database systems, develop programs and activities and work
alongside a team to ensure the emotional needs of our clients were met. As an
intake worker I have the administrative skills required but I think the people
skills I have will be far more valuable.
I am excited about the position and the ability to help your company succeed.
Thank you in advance for your time. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you
have any questions. I would appreciate the opportunity to review my
qualifications in more detail and would welcome a face to face interview.
Sincerely,
Collette Douglas
