Dear Human Resources Representative:
I am writing regarding the Office Assistant position which was recently
posted on Resumebook360. I am seeking an opportunity in which I can
utilize my education and experience in a well respected organization. My
work experiences in media, public relations, communications and management
have given me the skills necessary to be a successful Office Assistant for
your esteemed organization.
Through my internships at Double R Productions in Washington, D.C. and
Adams Street Publishing Co., I was able to discover my strengths and
solidify my passion in public relations. I enjoyed the opportunities of
networking, event planning, and demonstrating my creativity through
writing. As a production assistant at WTOL News 11, I gained valuable
knowledge in news media and worked one on one with prominent TV news
personalities. I learned to function in a fast paced environment and
worked under pressure to meet deadlines. As retail manager I learned new
methods of multitasking to effectively run the store and enhance my
leadership skills.
Given my previous experience in the workforce, I have acquired a skill set
that would be a great fit for the Office Assistant position. My energy is
boundless and my effort is tireless. Working in communications is a
rewarding career where I can establish relationships with others and make a
difference.
I look forward to an opportunity to discuss my abilities and how they will
benefit your organization. I can be reached either by phone or at the
email address listed above and on my resume. Thank you for your time and
consideration. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
Sincerely,
Colette R. Yaniglos
