Dear Human Resources Manager:
I am applying for your Administrative Assistant position that I read on the Bright website. Enclosed is my resume describing my experience, education, and background for your review.
I am a graduate from Kean University where I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Business Management. My education has afforded me with many strategies on how to apply quantitative and qualitative methods to business problems and methods of formulating decisions, the understanding of a business firm as a system of decisions concerned with creating value, and making meaningful contributions and accomplishing goals in group-based projects.
I have over 10 years of experience working in administration settings. Throughout the years, I have obtained considerable experience in the inner operations and administration of an organization. I have had the opportunity to develop proficient utilization of business technologies, the use of business concepts to evaluate and solve problems, and effective communication. My responsibilities include administrative and office support, interpersonal skills, and a “get it done” attitude.
I believe my education and experience have provided me with a solid background to work as an Administrative Assistant. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you personally where we may discuss my qualifications in greater detail.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Talita James
