Dear Hiring Manager,
I’d like to express my interest in the open data entry position. With a Data Entry Clerk Certificate (DECC) and six years of experience in administrative work, I believe I would be an excellent addition to the team at your company.
I obtained a degree in administrative management from the University of Florida in 2010, also interning at ImagineX Corporation during my senior year. I was offered a job after graduation and have been there ever since, completing my DECC as part of their training program in 2011.
You said in your ad that you’re looking for someone experienced in data entry and electronic record-keeping. Again, I have six years of experience as an office administrator, and I also gained my DECC after an eight-week course that covered everything from spreadsheets to taking meeting minutes.
In that respect, I also meet your requirement of “good with computers.” I’m familiar with a variety of data entry software, and I’m comfortable operating both Windows and Macs. No matter what kind of computers you use, I’m ready to hit the ground running.
I also have exemplary customer service skills that might be of use. I don’t know if your data clerks have contact with the general public, but as someone who regularly answered phones and fielded calls from vendors, insurers and other support staff in my old position, I have the skills necessary to be an excellent “face” for your brand.
Thanks
