I have heard that having too much experience or having a background that is too
diversified can come across as being unfocused or "all over the place." I would
like to think that it is a good thing, and that an employer would see it as
getting more value for their investment in an employee.
I agree that it is important to have specialized skills in a given area such
office administration, sales, marketing, and information technology. But what
happens when you have strong skills in all of the above? If you feel as I do
that it is more of an advantage than a disadvantage, I would like to be
considered for the position as office manager.
I feel my diverse background has prepared me well to oversee the broad
demands of this role, from coordinating workflow activities, managing
full-charge bookkeeping activities and supervising a staff to handling special
projects, key client relations and vendor contracts and assisting in sales and
marketing activities to develop and promote new business at events and online.
