Secretary Cover Letter Sample

The sample secretary cover letter is one you can use as a "template" for writing your own cover letter for secretary job openings. Obviously, the more experience you have as a secretary, the more consideration you will be given. Include some unique or specialized duties you performed that would be a good fit for the position you are applying for, and highlight this specific information in the cover letter itself.

Not only do you want to create a good rapport in your cover letter, but in order to stand out from the crowd, it is important to hit the hiring manager with some really unique "points of difference" in your skill set.

Make sure to reflect your background in the field, and convey your ability to help your employer with organizational activities, phone/email correspondence, and word processing tasks, and including anything else required in the job opening description.

Mr. Sam Kirkland
Manager
Fortune City Law Firm
2343 Telebaker Avenue
Fortune City, USA 32136

Dear Mr. Kirkland:

I saw the secretary job openings you posted in the local paper. I got excited when reviewing the job descriptions which included: taking phone calls, responding to email, filing, organizing, and all other secretarial tasks. I have seven years of experience in all of these areas, and my goal for writing this letter is to convey my qualifications and desire to fill one of the positions.

I was a secretary for the office manager at Construction For Hire, LLC in Jamesville most recently. I'd very much like to join the Fortune City Law Firm if the positions are still available and you agree my skill set is a good fit for one of them.

Can we set up a meeting to discuss how my skills can benefit the company, and so I can learn more about what you expect from employees?

Please call me: (123) 765-2543, so we can arrange a time that works with your schedule.

Thank you for reviewing this letter and my resume. I look forward to meeting you.

Sincerely,

(signature)
