April 05, 2014To: Prospective Washington Metropolitan Area EmployersRe: Administrative Assistant PositionsDear Sir/Madam: I am now working with Temporary Solutions as an administrative assistant, and I am interested in obtaining a permanent or long term temp-to-perm position. I have held permanent positions at Georgetown Hospital and the University of MarylandMy skills include operating MS Office Programs such as Word, Excel, Access, Outlook and Power Point. I have passed tests in Microsoft Office 2010 and 2007 with scores in the 80s and 90s at several temporary agencies. I scored 61 words per minute on a typing test at AMTRAK and I'm ready to roll. I received a B.A. in editorial journalism from the University of Washington in 1990. Taking advantage of the free tuition for staff at the University of Maryland, I passed a technical writing course with an "A" in 2002, and I even made a few extra dollars by investing in a mutual fund with wind energy which I researched for the class.When I arrive at the workplace, I concentrate on my duties. I am able to work with others or independently with a supervisor around to answer questions on what I'm supposed to be doing. My job appraisals in permanent positions have been satisfactory or better. My attendance and production record is often described as outstanding. Most others would describe me as an amiable co-worker or subordinate. I am interested in finding a work environment that emphasizes production rather than formality. I look forward to discussing my qualifications with you.Sincerely, Keith R. Bare
