RE: Administrative Assistant Conshohocken, PA
Dear Mr. Torchin,
Imagine my enthusiasm as I read the job description and requirements for the above referenced position and realized that not only does this appear to be the job for which I have been searching, but I believe my skillset will allow me to make a valuable contribution in this position. Although I have been out of the workforce for the past three years due to changing my profession, a cross- country move, and the pandemic, my experience and skills have thoroughly equipped me for success. Because it is further back than the typical 15 years, so is not on my resume, I previously worked at Yale Medical School in Pharmacology supporting two research scientists giving me the healthcare and technical background to be most useful to this company. Due to my diverse background, I have had to hone my skills of being the “go to” person for any office-related assignment. I am highly organized and thorough in my work, paying great attention to detail, while also having excellent skills of communication whether verbally or in writing. I thrive under pressure in a fast-paced environment, enjoying the challenge, as well as the people who also work well in this type of work environment. My skills in MS Office are stellar and I am a quick study at learning other software and technology. Please peruse my resume. I believe you will find that my skills and experience are what you seek and beyond. I look forward to discussing with you how I can be a valuable asset in the position of Administrative Assistant. Please email or call me at your earliest convenience. I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
JaNae Cottam
