Sample cover letter for Internship position at GS

Dear Search Committee,

It is with great interest that I submit my application for the position of Executive Secretary at Fordham

University’s, Rose Hill campus. Dedicated, professional and hardworking are three adjectives that have been used to

describe me by my supervisors quite often over the three years that I have worked in higher education as an

administrative assistant. With extensive clerical and administrative support experience to my credit, I am confident I

perfectly meet the requirements that you have specified in your advertisement for this position.

My expertise as an administrative assistant is backed by years of performing general secretarial work at the

City University of New York’s newly fast-paced and growing Guttman Community College. Routinely overseeing

purchasing, accounts payable and reporting in the Business Office, I elucidate and rectify financial discrepancies

while tending to correspondences with utmost integrity. I am well versed in revamping the expense reimbursement

system, thereby ensuring quick and efficient management of tax levy funds with a reduction of paperwork. A

signature strength I have mastered is being disposed to high pressure environments and meeting department deadlines.

Over the years, I have developed extreme proficiency in preparing minutes of meetings, reports and managing

high-end executive correspondences. I have an inherent ability to constructively deal with internal confidential

conflicts and can provide effective solutions. As an organized self-starter, I have the keen ability to work

independently and within a team while establishing and maintaining relationships within and across departments.

Bringing a vast and diverse pool of team player experience to your department is sure to pose as a huge

contribution. I intend to carry out all the necessary duties to maintain optimal innovative efficiency to the

computer and information science department at Fordham University. The enclosed resume will provide you with

a deep insight to my abilities. I look forward to meeting with you to further discuss my candidacy. Thank you for

your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
