Dear Jane,

I am applying for the job of office assistant with your organisation as advertised on the jobactive website. I have two years of experience working in a fast-paced office environment.

In the year since I finished my last job, I have been adding to my project management studies and working with local community groups. Through both I have continued to develop my communication and team work skills.

I feel that your organisation's commitment to customer service means that this position will be an excellent way for me to apply my skills within a new environment and help your business achieve its goals.

My previous role allowed me to demonstrate my strong attention to detail, including drafting invoices and scheduling travel. I was also in charge of managing meetings. I used a range of software including Excel, Google Calendar and TimeSave. Although I have not used Meeting Manager, I am a quick learner and am looking forward to using this tool to help with office management.

My communication and interpersonal skills are my strongest skills and have been central to me working effectively. I look forward to applying these skills at Business Name.

Thank you for your time and please do not hesitate to get in touch for more information. I am looking forward to discussing this role in more detail with you.

Regards,

Julie Jobseeker

Handy tips

Remember, your cover letter is a great way to show why you are a good fit for the job.

• Explain any gaps in your work history.

• Show off your skills and your enthusiasm for this job.

• If you are applying online, you can either attach the cover letter separately, or send the cover letter in the body of an email, or even paste it into the response box of the application.

Make sure you read over your cover letter before an interview. The person interviewing you might ask you to tell them more about what you have written. You should be able to answer their questions quickly and confidently.
