Dear Sir/Madam,
It was with great interest that I read your job posting sent via email notification by your organization. My resume below outlines my work history, education and personal knowledge.
I am a recent graduate with an honours degree in Business Administration from the University of Ottawa. I have obtained over one year of experience as a Human Resources Assistant, assisting an Executive Manager. People are a major point of contact in such positions, so I have gained an ample amount of customer services experience. As a current Human Resource Assistant, as well as Office Administrator, it has been my job, solely, to ensure the smooth running of day to day business activities. Therefore, I ensure that business activities are ordered in priority, deadlines are met, and communication is clear and efficient (especially dealing with a diverse group of employees). Also, I take great pain in ensuring every detail is executed.
I am very flexible, and very open to learning new ways to achieve a goal. I am an approachable person, and I dedicate myself to everything I choose to be part of. I am committed to providing outstanding service to my duties, as I believe it makes all the difference. I have a good track record of exceeding client service and admin duties. I am a dedicated individual who is reliable, punctual, a team player, and sensitive to the needs of those I work with.
I trust that you will contact me anytime by email or by phone, if you require additional information or to schedule an interview. I would greatly appreciate an opportunity to meet with you in person. I hope to be a productive addition to your team and look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Best Regards,
Goodness Ifeyi.
