Personal Assistant Cover Letter Example

If you have seen a role as a Personal Assistant that you would like to apply for then you will usually come from a strong administrative background and be used to working to Managers or Directors.

As a Personal Assistant you will work to one or two Managers or Directors and be responsible for supporting their work load. This could mean that you are the first point of contact for that person, you could be responsible for managing their diary, organising their appointments or meetings and could even involve doing assistant duties that are non work related. This will depend on the company size and who the Manager or Director is that you are working to.

You will need to be organised and thorough in your work, you will need to be proactive and be able to think on your feet.

If you have found a role in which you want to apply for, please see the below covering letter example that you can use as a guide.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Application for the role of Personal Assistant

I would like to apply for the role of Personal Assistant which I have seen advertised in (which publication and when).

I have been working in an administrative role for over 5 years and enjoy this kind of role as I enjoy organising my workload, learning new skills and helping my Managers to manage their own workloads better.

I have excellent typing skills; I can build good relationships with my suppliers and have been responsible for buying in stationery, products and gifts as required. I like to research and make sure that I get competitive quotes for the business.

I have a friendly but strong personality, I like to get my work done and will ensure that this happens at all times. I do not like to leave work undone.

I have enclosed my CV for your consideration. Should you be interested in my skills, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will be happy to answer any questions that you may have.

Thank you for taking the time to read my letter and CV.

Yours sincerely

NAME SURNAME

Good luck.
