Hello:
I believe I possess the necessary skills and experience you are seeking and would make a valuable addition to your company.
As my resume will indicate, I have more than 7 years of progressive experience in the administrative, customer service and records management fields. My professional history includes administrative and customer service duties as Office Manager for Priority Appliance repair as well as human resource functions as a Senior Operator with Answer Service Plus.
Most recently, my responsibilities as Administrative Assistant with Closets by Design Orlando and Weltman Bernfield, LLC match many of the qualifications you are seeking..
I graduated from the University of Phoenix in October 2013, earning my AA in Accounting.
I have included my resume with references. My desired salary is $28,000+/- ($13-14 per hour) a year, but as with many things this is negotiable. Please contact me at my email or phone number listed below to schedule a meeting to further discuss a possible professional future together.
Sincerely,
Marla J. Curtis
