Dear Hiring Manager:
I am applying for this position because I am seeking a more challenging opportunity in my field. I am a proactive and engaged team member, who enjoys learning the in's and out's of the business, looking for opportunities to expand my knowledge, and becoming a key member of the company. I want to be able to extend my expertise to continue improving efficiency and productivity. I graduated from Adams State University with a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) with an emphasis in Public Administration. Adams State is also where I received my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with an emphasis in Management.
I would bring knowledge, understanding, and a positive attitude to this position, as I have more than thirteen years of experience in administration, many of those years wearing many different administrative “hats”. I had the opportunity of teaching myself my past positions, with no direction or training, and succeeded in becoming a knowledgeable and reliable employee. My experience includes office administration, scheduling, calendaring, travel coordination, human resources, and budget planning and forecasting. I am meticulous and organized and it has helped me to work efficiently and proactively. In addition to being self-motivated, I carry a very outgoing, enthusiastic attitude with team-working abilities, and demonstrate exemplary customer service.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my resume and I look forward to an opportunity to discuss my qualifications further with you. If you should have additional questions or would like to schedule an interview, please contact me at 719-***-****.
