RE: APPLICATION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE POSITION
Attached please find my resume in application for the open administrative position. I’m currently working as a Shop Assistant on a contractual basis and is seeking a more stable and permanent position. In previous positions, I maintained a functional office environment while providing financial, sales and administrative support for fast-paced companies. I have a knack for problem solving and work well independently and with little oversight. I respond to requests in a timely manner and am adept at prioritizing multiple ongoing projects. Additionally, I excel at building good customer relations and handle correspondence, reporting and document maintenance with efficiency and accuracy to support business needs. I am familiar with Microsoft Word and Excel, Outlook, My Market and Accpac, but adapt quickly to new programs and are more than willing to learn any new skill as needed and hope to provide first-rate administrative support to your company.
As a competent Administrative Assistant, I believe that I would bring a resourceful, flexible and hardworking attitude to this role.
