I have spent the majority of my time working for myself performing various odd jobs in various locations including: house cleaning/organizing, e-bay sales, yard sale set-up, landscaping, dog /house sitting, etc. I have also held various part-time/temporary positions including store clerk/cashier, deli worker, customer service, management, server (full job history available upon request). I have been responsible for every aspect of a business from advertising and customer relations, to scheduling and quoting jobs as well as performing the actual duties.

Having taken Accounting and business classes during my last three years of high school, and teaching it my senior year, I have decided to pursue a career path in this field. I feel that I am highly qualified for a job as an administrative assistant, but still require some hands on professional experience.

I will soon be working towards an Associates degree in accounting /business. I am fluent in many computer programs including Word, Excel, and Database entry. I also have experience with Peachtree and Quicken. I have both Mac and PC experience. As with anything there is a learning curve with new systems and methods, however, I am an extremely fast learner and I thrive under pressure in a fast paced, deadline oriented work environment.

I possess experience and incredible proficiency in phone answering (3-10 line systems), scheduling, mailings, and public relations. I have also had limited experience with graphic design and printing in high school yearbook club where I was expected to design small emblems/logos, and place the art/text portions in printing format using the yearbook company’s program.

As for a little about myself, I consider my self outgoing and a very fast learner. I have been told my strengths are speedy learning, and the ability to interpret any situation in to common sense easily which comes in handy in any working environment. Also, on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test I scored in the middle of every category, but the stronger sides of my personality made me out to be an ENTP. The book classifies ENTP’s as “Quick, ingenious, stimulating, alert, and outspoken.” I enjoy learning, and have a very broad base of knowledge in several different areas (biology, algebra, business, writing/poetry, web design, etc.), as well as the ability to pick up anything and hit the ground running, so to speak. I have always been told I have a tendency to bring certain energy to the workplace.

I am looking for a position where I can work hard, enjoy what I do and the people I do it with. I would like to find work that I can be proud of, and dedicate much of my time and energy to, as I have a lot of energy!

I would like to be earning something upwards of $27,000/ year (roughly $13/Hr.). I am a very dedicated hard worker, and would greatly appreciate an opportunity to speak with you and discuss my qualifications as well as your needs. I am also willing to volunteer for the position for up to 90 days on a trial basis. If you have such a position available and would like to discuss my intentions, please feel free to contact me. Please feel free to download and review my resume and samples on this page, and contact me with any interests or questions. I look forward to meeting you in person, and offer my greatest gratitude for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Josselyn D. Howard
