Tips for Administrative Assistant Cover Letters
You are going to be judged by your ability to write and compose correspondence. Your cover letter is no different. It must be succinct, interesting, factual, and error free. The points you must make include why you are contacting them, informing the HR person how you learned of their opening,
and what, specifically, qualifies you for the position. This is
a good opportunity to showcase your research and communication skills.
The structure of your cover letter will show the reader your technical understanding of how a letter should be constructed. In secretarial school, administrative assistants are taught where to place the date, inside address, salutation, closing signature, as well as how to indicate who is
being copied (cc) or blind copied (bcc) and what the there enclosures (encl: or attachment).
