Dear Sir/Madam,
I believe that I would make an excellent candidate for the Virtual Assistant role that you are advertising. I have solid experience as an Executive Assistant having provided support for senior partners at McKinsey & Company and also for the director of the Physics department at the University of Bristol.
In my role as a Press officer assistant I provided organisational support for events, shows and various projects assisting with PR and media related administrative duties. Other tasks included writing press releases, scanning and collecting daily media clippings, researching media coverage and monitoring various social media channels.
Furthermore I was responsible for dealing with any queries from the media over the phone, email and face to face demonstrating clear and effective communication.
Furthermore I have been responsible for supporting senior members of staff in the planning and execution of major projects, conferences and various off-site meetings whilst proactively managing complex diaries and schedules. This includes working with various international time zones and locations and showcases my organisational skills.
My previous roles have ultimately allowed me to develop timely process management skills, along with pro-activeness, acute attention to detail and being able to provide high quality support under tight deadlines
Lastly I have background experience in Marketing having studied media.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Tarah Ren
