Personal Assistant Cover Letter Example

A personal assistant is trusted with someone's time, travel and confidences, and I take each of those seriously. For more than five years I have supported busy executives in fast-paced environments, and I am applying to Pearl & Associates because your reputation for excellence calls for exactly that kind of care.

As personal assistant to the CEO at Apex Innovations Inc., I manage a calendar of more than 40 meetings a week and have reduced scheduling conflicts by 95% by agreeing clear booking rules with the people who request time. I coordinate international travel for our executives and have saved about $15K a year through better itinerary planning. I also handle confidential correspondence and expense reports with complete accuracy.

Before that, as an administrative assistant at BrightPath Consulting, I prepared briefing packets and agendas for board meetings and delivered every one on time. I supported a team of five senior consultants, coordinating their travel and expenses across more than 20 client engagements. That role taught me to anticipate what someone will need on a trip or in a meeting before they think to ask. I studied business administration at the University of California, Berkeley.

It would be a pleasure to hear how you and your colleagues like to work. Thank you for reading.
