Dear Mrs. Jones;
It is with great enthusiasm that I submit my application for an administrative assistant position with
the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development. I am currently enrolled in the Business
Administration Human Resources Management Advanced Diploma program at Fleming College with
the expected date of graduation being April 2017. I graduated from Fanshawe College in April 2016
and obtained my two year diploma in Human Resources Management. I enjoy developing new skills
and experiences in an enjoyable work environment, working individually as well as in teams, and
becoming more knowledgeable in fields that interest me.
I can offer this position at MAESD many skills that are necessary for productivity and efficiency in an
organization. Some of which include:
Problem Solving and Organizational Skills. For example, working independently at Coffee
Time taught me how to deal with several problems on my own, keep up with the fast paced
environment, ensure the store was organized, and serve customers in a timely manner.
Written and Oral Communication Skills. I have obtained these skills through school as well as
previous work experience. They were put to use from working at Rainbow Academy Daycare
Centre and Dairy Queen. These were demonstrated by documenting files, working together
with co-workers, and dealing with customers in person, through email, and on the phone.
Technical and Analytical Skills. I am familiar with and have an understanding of several
computer programs such as; Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Visio, and Outlook. I am able to pay
attention to detail and carefully analyze forms and reports.

While I have limited experience being employed in an office setting, my knowledge and skills that I
have gained from my diploma make me an excellent candidate for this position. I am a fast learner and
a hard worker and am confident I'll be able to perform successfully in this role .
It would be greatly appreciated if you contacted me through phone or email to schedule an interview.
You can reach me on my cell phone at 289-233-1401 or email at cassandramariebeaver@gmail.com .
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,

Cassandra Beaver
