Re: Recruitment number: 30525
Office Assistant III
To whom it may concern,
My career objective is to gain knowledge and experience in an area that helps
children grow and foster vision in their lives. Imagine my excitement when I saw the
February 11th recruitment posting for Office Assistant III on the eHR website! After
viewing the post, I was compelled to apply. My Past employment duties includes being
MealTime clerk which helped me to know each student personally. I also operated
DataCard, which is the school i.d card system. Pictures and other select information are
put into the system before being printed and given out as school identification.
I have been a School Health Aide for the past 5 years and through this position I
have done a variety of clerical work including use of a fax machine, copier, shredder,
computer with printer and rizzo. My certificates include Supervision, Marketing and
Entrepreneurship. Through these courses I gained interpersonal, communication and
leadership skills. I have an Associates of Arts degree in Liberal Arts and will soon
complete my Associates in Applied Sciences degree in Business. Through my education,
I obtained skills such as working with all Microsoft programs, writing skills and typing at
40 wpm. As shift supervisor with a previous employer, I was able to lead a group of
fourteen kitchen staff. Supervisory duties included preparing weekly work schedules,
weekly food order placements, filling shifts and doing monthly inventory. Through my
community service efforts I have experience in planning, organizing, and budgeting. My
latest budgeting experience included fundraising and seeking donations for a yearly
Halloween community event called CandyLane. As you can see, my experience would
make me a great candidate for this position.
Thank you for taking the time to consider me as an applicant and possible future
employee. I am eager to hear from you regarding an interview. You may reach me at
(808)213-4307, or at the address or email listed above.
Mahalo,
