Administrative Assistant Cover Letter

I am writing to express my interest in the Administrative Assistant position advertised on Craigslist.org on January 18, 2013. I have more than ten years of experience as an administrative assistant, with the last five years being the exclusive assistant and bookkeeper to the CEO of ABC Company.

I graduated from the University of Minnesota with a dual degree in English Literature and Journalism. I have 12 years of experience as an assistant to investment and consulting firms. In that time I have acquired a number of organizational, interpersonal and communications skills that I think would make me ideal for this position. Some of my important achievements include:

• Updating and organizing ABC Company's database to increase efficiency 5% over the course of a year.
• Organizing administrative details for onsite projects with major corporations.
• Tracking client reference usage to increase sales and customer satisfaction by 12% over a projected 10-year basis.
• Working both independently and with others on up to five projects at a time while prioritizing the most important deadlines.

I am well-versed in communications with all levels of management within a consulting firm. My ability to type, communicate and take notes both quickly and accurately has led to frequent promotions within the last few years. I am interested in the expansive and innovative opportunities that your company presents and I believe that I have much to offer your organization in return.

Please contact me at your earliest convenience using the information listed above. I look forward to speaking with you at that time. Thank you for your consideration.
