Mr. Ben Bernardo
Manager HR
Tomball High School
3738 Everglade Road
Tomball, TX 11510

Dear Mr. Bernardo:

I came across the advertisement of Tomball High School regarding a new branch opening in the downtown area and am curious if there is a School Secretary position that would be available there in the near future. I moved to Tomball three weeks ago after serving as a school secretary at McAllen High School, Dallas for six years. I believe if provided with a chance, I have much stamina and expertise to contribute to your school.

As a highly responsible individual, I have been coordinating secretarial and clerical services for my previous place of work on a continuous basis. I possess a friendly and positive demeanor. Specifically, I am an expert in:

  • Answering phones
  • Greeting and directing visitors, parents, and guests
  • Preparing school correspondence such as letters, memos, calendars, announcements, agendas, and minutes of meetings
  • Maintaining filing systems accurately
  • Processing school mail as assigned
  • Handling inventory of school supplies and books
  • Making and update computer information and print out class lists

Presently, I am looking for a unique opportunity where I can exercise functional supervision over the school staff while providing the best administrative services to the school office.

I am a complete amalgamation of experience and qualifications which are key contributors to an environment conducive to academic professionalism. I believe that a meeting between us will provide me with a more profound understanding of your specific secretarial needs and you could also judge my talents and potential.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
