Cover Letter
Sir/Madam.
I am applying for the position of Security Officer in Athenaeum as advertised online because the requirements closely match my academic standing and experience. I have additional experience in customer service in Home Depot and Allied Universal where I was trained on the main tenets of customer service which includes receiving the clients, vendors, guests, visitors etc with greetings and a broad smile, engaging them by solving their problems, or providing service efficiently then thanking them for visiting any establishment.
I have been properly groomed in the principal bodies of Political Science, hence I am prepared to serve in any entry-level position because I have gotten enough experience from my service at the Home Depot and now as a Concierge and Security Professional for Allied Universal.
Above all, I can perform the security job with little of no supervision because I am duty conscious, and possess the values of accountability, compassion, respect, excellence and stewardship which I will bring to bear in Athenaeum.
As far as experience in most entry level jobs are concerned, I have enough experience as my resume clearly shows, hence if you want the best person to deliver the goods, invite me for an interview and hire me.
I must thank you for having the time and patience to read this cover letter.
Yours sincerely,
Patrick Agbor Assibong
