December 16, 2015

Northwest Center

Seattle, WA 98108

Dear Hiring Representative:

I am truly excited to have the opportunity to apply for the Receptionist position at the Northwest Center. I’m inspired by the Northwest Center’s dedication to equal education and opportunities, as well as all of the services provided to children and adults. I am eager to grow and develop my professional skills within such a highly respected, and honest organization.

My past experiences involved providing excellent customer satisfaction. For example, as a host at The Old Spaghetti Factory, I managed and organized all of the front-end operations, which included seating over 400 people per day. I was eventually promoted to include operating to-go orders while juggling smooth communication between front-end staff and servers, as well as ensuring guests felt comfortable.

I have a history of being flexible and effective within fast-paced environments. I recently participated in Koru, a selective, business-training program, where I worked on a team to solve a business problem for T-Mobile. We presented recommendations to T-Mobile executives who liked our proposal enough that the company plans on integrating our suggestions. In the program, I often found myself the mediator and motivator on my team ensuring that conflict did not interfere with the task at hand.

I am a positive, friendly and I enjoy helping others succeed. I hope to take these same people and relational skills and apply them to the Receptionist position.

I have attached a copy of my resume and I look forward to continuing the conversation. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best regards,
