Dear Hiring Manager:
It is with great enthusiasm that I submit my application for the position of Phone/Data Entry Assistant for MacEwan University. As a marketing degree holder with nearly two years of professional experience, I know my diverse skills and qualifications will make me an asset to your existing team of professional. As you will see from the attached resume, I’ve built my career in a variety of roles and industries between Edmonton and Hong Kong. I’m not only used to wearing many hats, I sincerely enjoy it; I thrive in an environment where no two work days are exactly the same. Currently I work as a receptionist/admin support at the Government of Alberta Disability Services. My main duties include responding to clients/service providers inquires via phone and emails, data entry and mail distribution. My previous experience at La Maison Simons as a customer service office associate has helped me improve my skills in leadership, allowed me to gain organisational skills, and has provided me with extensive knowledge of how to upsell services and goods to potential clients. I am also responsible for processing the company’s daily deposit and act as a personal assistant for the store director and the HR Director. In addition to being flexible and responsive, I’m also a fanatic for details – particularly when it comes to presentation. Throughout my school years I got myself involved in roles that are Marketing-related. From 2012-2014 I had the honor to be the VP Marketing for the University of Alberta Photography club. After advertising and getting our name out there through social media, email, posters, pamphlets, and all sorts of events, we were able to increase the number of members by 30%.
In closing, I am thrilled at the possibility of being involved in your team, and would love the opportunity to meet with you and discuss the value that I can bring to your company. I appreciate your consideration and look forward to hearing from you. Should you have any questions or require additional information please feel free to contact me via email *******@********.**.
Warmest regards,
Dani Yu
