Administrative Assistant Cover Letter Help

What Is So Important About Cover Letters?
In a word – EVERYTHING!


It’s taking the best of your qualifications and characteristics and making them exciting and enticing to the prospective employer. It’s a carefully crafted letter that leads the employer to the resume to see why you are the best candidate for the job.


The best news is that it isn’t that hard.

Competition for Administrative Assistant positions is intense. You have to stand out from the crowd in a positive, exciting way to ensure you are the one employers are determined to hire.


How do you make your cover letter “sing your praises”?


If you have already written your resume, the words you need are already mapped out for you. It’s just a matter of weaving them in and out of a few paragraphs. Ok, so it’s a little more involved than that. At least you have the hardest part done – the resume.


It’s much easier to pull from the resume and reflect on your character when you have put the time in to create a professional personal history. Not only that, but since you know about the employer from having written your targeted resume, you have much of what you need to target the letter as well.


The cover letter builds on the resume and leads the employer toward it. Its goal is to get the employer excited about the resume. It is a sales tool, just like the resume is. Sell yourself in a compelling and exciting way. Inject energy and let your best qualities reach the employer through carefully written examples and anecdotes. Don’t just state what you are capable of, show the employer with vibrant language that attracts and invites the employer to want to know more.

Let your personality show, but remain professional.
