Administrative Assistant cover letter example.

Dear Hiring Manager,

Through two internal audits at Brookfield Manufacturing Group, I kept the confidential personnel and contract files in records-retention compliance, and that is the part of this work I am steadiest at: holding sensitive paper exactly where it belongs and saying nothing about what is in it. I am Priscilla Mwangi, an administrative assistant with six years supporting directors in fast corporate offices. I hold the Certified Administrative Professional credential through the IAAP and a Microsoft Office Specialist Excel Associate certification through Certiport. A capital partners front desk needs both the records discipline and the steadiness, and I have carried both quietly.

At Brookfield Manufacturing Group I manage Outlook calendars for 4 directors, scheduling 50+ meetings a week across 3 time zones with under 2% rescheduling conflicts. I also process and reconcile 80+ monthly expense reports in SAP Concur, and after I standardized how receipts get submitted, reimbursement errors dropped by 30%. I book the domestic and international travel that comes with those calendars and keep every trip inside the corporate travel policy, and I prepare board meeting materials in PowerPoint and Word for 20+ stakeholders.

Earlier, at Lakeside Health Partners, I built the Excel supply and budget trackers that flagged variances worth roughly $8,000 a year and ran the multi-line phones for a 12-person department without sending callers in circles. References from Lakeside and Brookfield can speak to the discretion, since both trusted me with files that did not leave the building. Send me two or three dates that suit you and I will keep them open for a first call.
