Dear Human Resource Manager;


It takes a certain kind of individual to be able to thrive in an administrative environment; the daily pressures and changes as well as the responsibility and organization, can all be intimidating or inviting. With my administrative and customer orientated work history and my current training in human resources through Kwantlen University, I feel confident I have the qualifications you described in your advertisement, as well as being able to become part of an amazing team.

As you will see on the attached resume, I have had administrative work experience in working under pressure with tight deadlines and a heavy work load. As an administrative assistant for Steeplejack Industries, I helped my team transition to a new operating system by finding and fixing past billing errors and addressing customer complaints, all while maintaining data entry for employees to receive payroll.
Meanwhile my current educational courses in professional communication, business ethics and human resource management have helped by providing me with knowledge of clear, concise writing, and the ability to look at situations from more than one stand point.

This brief description of my qualifications and the additional information on my resume demonstrate my genuine desire to put my problem solving and interpersonal skills to work for you. I would like to discuss with you how I may do that.


Sincerely,


Nicole P Will

Nicole,

Your cover letter is awesome. The first sentence catches my attention right away! I wonder if the "and's" could be restructured, maybe one and and then comma's. The rest of your letter is awesome, and without changing it at all, it would land you a job for sure!
