RE: Office Manager
Dear Hiring Manager,
I would like to be considered for the position of Office Manager recently advertised on Zip Recruiter. I am confident
that my skills, work experience and ethics are well aligned with yours and that I would be an excellent candidate for
your team. I am a quick learner and would welcome the opportunity of furthering my knowledge of your business
and providing excellent support.
Most recently I provided senior personal assistance to an upper management position, where my organizational skills
were essential in the efficiency of daily activities within the department. When required, I was able to adapt to
changing priorities and needs. I was entrusted with handling personal and confidential information as well as
corresponding confidentially on behalf of the executive. This position required me to work with executive and senior
level management both internally and externally. I have had the privilege of providing administrative support to
various departments which allowed for many different learning avenues.
Currently, I own and operate a business which allows me to interact with customers and vendors, working on a more
personal basis providing detailed information about products that are offered and queried. As a small business
owner, I have worked in collaboration with other local businesses in creating innovative marketing ideas for
upcoming events in town.
Thanking you in advance for your time, I enclose my resume for your consideration and welcome the opportunity to
further discuss possible contributions to your team. If selected, I would be able to start as soon as required.
Best Regards,
Linda McQuoid
