To Whom It May Concern:
With great interest and enthusiasm I am very interested in your available
position as an Administrative Assistant. My skills and qualifications are a
sure match for your requirements for this position. Therefore, I am submitting my
rιsumι for your review and consideration. Please allow me to explain briefly the
contribution I would make with your organization.
Throughout my 7+ year career as a paralegal, administrative assistant and United
States Army soldier, I have demonstrated proficiency in all core office
administrative functions, including document preparation, internal/external
communications, data and records management, meeting scheduling, financial tasks
and task prioritization. In short, I can manage the office without supervision,
juggle multiple tasks effectively, and maintain confidentiality with highly
sensitive materials and matters.
In addition, I have experience in working with high net worth clients, both of
which require extra attention to the people management side of business.
Through successfully managing both internal and external relationships, I have
accelerated the achievement of goals and positioned myself as a valuable resource
in a variety of situations.
I would bring to your company not only these administrative skills, but also a
positive, cooperative attitude that I have displayed throughout my career. I
remain calm under pressure and adapt to meet the unique needs of each
organization. I will be there to ensure that the needs of my supervisor are met
promptly with organization, timeliness and the self discipline needed to get the
job done.
Again, my rιsumι will detail the required skills and background you seek. I
would welcome the opportunity for an interview at your convenience, and I thank
you in advance for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Carmilia Hillmon
