Terre Haute, IN 47815
Dear Mr. Storm,
Having served for the past several years as the administrative assistant of a private business, I would like to apply for the position of executive assistant which you advertised in the Jakarta Post on Sunday, October 30,2016.
As executive assistant to the Benlow Corporation in Terre Haute, I was directly responsible to Alba Jenkins, the company’s owner. In addition to my administrative duties, I was responsible for scheduling all of Ms. Jenkins’ appointments, screening her telephone calls and visitors, and organizing her paperwork and correspondence.
Essentially, I did everything I could to make Ms. Jenkins’ heavy responsibilities easier. Thus, I am familiar with the duties of an executive assistant and believe I am prepared to anticipate and meet all your expectations. I am confident, too, that with enthusiasm and sincere effort, I can make the transition from a small business to a large corporation smoothly.
I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss my qualifications in person. I would be happy to come for an interview at your convenience, and I can be reached after 5 P.M. at 772-1248.
Sincerely yours,
Maria Smith
