To whom it may concern, Re: Customer Service Clerk
I am very interested in the above position that you have advertised. I have 15+ years’ experience in an
Administration/Financial/Marketing role which has enabled me to provide the highest standards for
performance and quality of work completed. My past work experience has taught me the importance of the
ability to work as part of a team and independently. A large portion of my skills has come from working within
the municipal level of government.
In my most recent role, I had the opportunity to work with Lambton College’s Employment & Learning Centre
in Petrolia providing exceptional customer service, budget tracking, ordered office supplies, completed
management’s expense reports and verified all receipts as well as working with the College’s marketing
department to create radio and newspaper ads for services.
I possess exceptional customer service skills, am punctual and dependable. My writing and computer skills are
above average. I have experience working in the not-for-profit sector so I understand their needs as well, I have
worked with all levels of government, stakeholders and community partners.
I am available immediately and am ready to embark on a new and exciting challenge in my professional career
where I can utilize my skills and become part of an amazing team that makes a difference.
Thank you for your consideration.
Yours sincerely,
