Sample cover letter for Full Time position at GWU

To whom it may concern:

Please accept the enclosed resume in consideration for the above position as advertised on your Gwork. My extensive background has provided me with practical skills and hands-on experience in working in an office environment, which has further developed problem-solving and managing deadline skills, which would effectively contribute to your organization’s goals and objectives. I believe my qualifications and experience make me an ideal candidate for this job.

I am self-motivated and possess good communication skills. In my previous position as Violence Prevention and Responses Student Assistant, I’ve learned to be a self-starter who planned events without direct supervision, to multi-task and take on multiple responsibilities. These abilities are derived from my exceptional interpersonal and communication skills, strong attention to detail and unparalleled work ethic. A key talent that I can bring into your organization is the efficiency and understanding of the needs of the costumers because I have honed those skills through assisting at the Women’s Center. I am also not afraid to learn new and innovative techniques and ideas that will improve my performance within the organization. I have also gained more costumer service experience as a host, the ability to work well with others and to multitask in a deadline-driven environment. I have immense initiative, leadership, and focus that will create a safe and productive work environment that will result in customer and company satisfaction.

I am enthusiastic about exploring opportunities with the Office of Graduate Assistantships and Fellowships. Though my resume is detailed and comprehensive, it cannot fully demonstrate the manner in which I have achieved success. Character, personality, and the ability to work in a team environment can be demonstrated in a personal meeting. I would welcome an interview at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your time and consideration. I am certain that I would become a valuable addition to your staff.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
