To Human Resources Manager:

I am responding to your advertisement in the November 17th issue of the San Jose Mercury New for the Administrative Assistant position you have available.

For the Past 13 years I have successfully held the position of Administrator and Operations Planner in the Education and Training Department of Lockheed Missiles & Space Co., Inc. The main focus of my position was the education of 12,000-15,000 employees per year. My related skills and accomplishments range from managing the company-wide training databases to supervising and directing support staff. I am proficient in the PC environment including: Excel, Microsoft Word, and Filemaker Pro.

As a detail oriented professional with proven strengths in organization, communication and interpersonal skills, I believe my enthusiasm and experience would make me a strong candidate for the above position.

Attached is my resume for your review. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Mary J. Smith
