Cover Letter
Dear hiring team,
As a results-driven, goal-focused, experienced professional with a proven history of innovation and achievement, I am confident in my ability to excel and make a substantial contribution to your organization as your Executive Assistant.
Throughout my two decades of career experience, I have established a reputation as a first-class executive assistant who is driven by challenge, undeterred by obstacles, and committed to furthering the highest standards of excellence. My expertise encompasses all aspects of administrative tasks; calendar management, event planning, travel arrangements, expense reporting, letter composition, office management, phone reception, meeting scheduling, customer/vendor/client relations, data entry, document creation, online research, social media, tech support, recordkeeping, purchasing, req/invoice/payment processing, international export shipping, audits, 6S, staff training, and process improvement.
With over 15 years of experience supporting executive leadership for the world’s largest nonprofit educational measurement organization, as well as my most current experience supporting a state Governor and a corporate Vice President, I am well-versed in meeting requested deadlines on short notice in a dynamic environment of multiple and shifting priorities, with a minimal need of supervision, high attention to detail, and the utmost discretion. Through effective collaboration, careful planning, proactive engagement, a focus on quality, and the flexibility to pivot to meet client needs and changing times, I have contributed to my ETS team earning two 5-year State contract wins and multiple contract extensions for a large-scale program serving 6 million students.
A few more of the strengths I will bring to your team:
Out-of-the-box thinker and creative problem-solver with exceptional interpersonal, leadership, communication, verbal, written, technical, and strategic / analytical skills.
Demonstrated mastery of proactively planning and directing time-sensitive clerical / administrative tasks, projects, and operations from inception to completion within quality, scope, time, and budget.
Recognized for devising and executing robust strategies to enhance clients’ and customers’ satisfaction, process, performance, productivity, efficiency, and organizational growth.
Proven track record of assisting, monitoring, and supervising multifunctional teams and multitasks in a deadline-driven, challenging, and fast-paced environment to achieve desired goals.
Skilled at acting as point of contact for executives, clients, employees, and other external parties, managing information flow, setting up meetings, handling logistics, and making travel and accommodation arrangements.
Over two years of experience successfully working 100% remotely, using a variety of online collaboration tools including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Outlook, Concur, DocuSign, G-Suite.
Recent training and experience in editing and formatting official government correspondence, official record retention, and constituent relations/customer service at the Office of the Governor for the State of Nevada.
Over a decade of expertise in AR/AP clerical functions using Oracle Financials, PeopleSoft, EPro or SAP, to perform tasks such as vendor setup, bank verifications, requisitions, GR's, order acknowledgements, order invoicing, p-card reconciliation, and invoice processing.
My commitment to excellence has been recognized through numerous “Spot Awards” and high praise from VPs and managers during year-end Objective Reviews. But the opportunity to leverage advantageous real estate values in Henderson to be closer to family was too good to pass up, hence the need to step away from my position in Sacramento and explore new professional avenues. And while my time at the Office of the Governor and TIMET have been invaluably enriching, I remain receptive to roles that offer promotional and remote work possibilities.
I look forward to discussing how I can bring my extensive skills and experience to support the team’s objectives and facilitate the company’s success. Thank you for considering my application.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Betz
