RE:   Administrative Position

 

Dear Sir/Madam:

 

Enclosed please find my resume for your review and consideration for the administrative position that your organization has available.  I believe my experience and education make me an ideal candidate for this position.

 

I recently served and completed additional training as a Medical Specialist IV program in the U.S. Marine Corps.  I received an honorable discharge in May 2009.  I am flexible and desire to continue on my new career path. With over five years of administrative work history, I am organized, efficient, detail oriented, and conscientious.  I have excellent verbal and written communication skills and am computer literate.  I am a quick learner and able to work independently and in a team environment.  Additionally, my background also includes extensive experience in sales.

 

I am interested in meeting with you to discuss my qualifications in an interview at your convenience.  Thank you for your time and consideration.

 

Regards,

 

M. Keene
