Secretary (General) Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent my career supporting busy executives in fast paced offices, and I’ve seen how small admin wins add up. At [Previous Company], I helped cut waiting times for calls and enquiries by streamlining our front desk processes, and I regularly handled calendar management for multiple stakeholders. This role at [Company Name] looks like a good match for my focus on reliable organisation and calm problem solving in a busy environment. I’m comfortable with document management, archiving and file maintenance, and I keep things tidy so colleagues can find what they need quickly. I can coordinate travel and meetings, manage petty cash and supplies, and I’m used to handling enquiries, messages and email preparation with a clear, courteous tone. I’ve learned to prioritise tasks and keep the office moving without creating extra work for others. One example from my time at [Previous Company] shows the value I bring. I reorganised the filing system and introduced a simple digital log for outgoing correspondence, which significantly improved tracking and reduced the time staff spent on locating documents by about 20 minutes a day. I also supported reception during peak periods, helping visitors feel welcome while keeping the queue moving. I’m ready to discuss how I can contribute to [Company Name]. I’m available for a chat at your convenience and can start within two weeks if needed. Kind regards, [Your Name]
