Dear Ms. Larsson,
I am writing to express my interest in the administrative assistant position on [website.com] under section [โCareers atโ]. I heard about [Office X] via my former colleague [Name Surname]. As a dynamic office assistant with years of professional experience with organization and communication, I am confident about my potential contribution to your department. Therefore, I want you to consider this application for the administrative assistant position.
To shortly introduce myself, my name is [Sara Maddison] and I have 5+ years of experience organizing and effectively managing the workplace at [Company Y]. The practice I currently work for may reduce its hours, which has forced me to search for a new opportunity. I noticed that [Office X] operates in the same industry and the job opening closely aligns with my experience. In addition, this position opens up a path to becoming an executive assistant which matches my desired career goals. As a motivated office assistant, I am thrilled to deliver excellent client interaction and maintain [Office X]โs core values on time management, verbal and written client communication.
Throughout the years I have been promoted increasingly responsible positions as an office clerk, office receptionist and administrative assistant. During my last role at [Company Y], I maintained and nurtured long-term relationships with more than a dozen clients in the [Industry]. The day-to-day responsibilities involve maintaining contact lists, scheduling meetings and communicating on behalf of the executives. Back in 2022, I rolled out a new CRM system to allow for more personalized and customized service, of which I received recognition and was granted as employee of the year.
In the attachment, you can find my resume and references for more information about my educational background and technical skills. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss my potential contribution to [Office X]โs efficiency and client relationship goals. For any questions, you can contact me via [Phone number] or [Email address]. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best regards,
Sara Maddison
