It is ironic that the cliche, "works in the mailroom," has such a negative connotation when, in fact, the scope of my responsibilities are so involved and important that everyone in the company jokes that the place would fall apart without me. The truth is, it would be far from a laughing matter if the communications and schedules were mishandled in anyway. It really is a very important job, and I do it well.

Sometimes it is difficult to move up in a company when no one else wants the job and when a person does such a job so efficiently. I am experiencing a sense of guilt for wanting to leave the position because the company would literally be in a state of confusion for weeks on end.

But I must move on. I have so much to offer in an administrative position as the right-arm assistant to a senior executive. In addition to managing calendars, meetings, travel arrangements, expense reports, and preparing all written correspondence and reports, I would be an invaluable manager of large-scale projects that require a great attention to detail and follow through to make sure it is done correctly and on-time.

In addition to my administrative abilities and project coordination skills, I possess exceptional interpersonal communications skills. I am a true "people person" who gets along well with all levels of an organization in a very professional manner. I have a knack for names and numbers and can memorize an extensive amount of information and recall it at will. This is a valuable skill to have when someone asks questions about something on the spot. I have been known to save the day on several occasions exercising this innate skill.

If you feel there is a mutual interest, I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you to learn more about your company, the requirements of the position, and how my qualifications would be a good fit.

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Mary Jones
