SUBJECT: Temporary Administrative Positions

Attached is a targeted resume supporting my candidacy for temporary assignments. Ideally, Any Temporary Agency has immediate opportunities and, after those are completed, I can continue to serve the needs of your clients who seek temporary workers.

Five years of diverse temporary employment through agencies like yours, have provided me with skills and qualifications applicable to many different fields. Also, each has provided a reference that can support my candidacy for future opportunities.

In short, I offer a potential employer:

• Three years of accounting, financial, and administrative experience.

• Computer knowledge, including PC and Macintosh operating systems.

• Proficiency in a variety of word-processing, database, and spreadsheet programs, including Word, WordPerfect, Lotus 123, Excel, Access, and FileMaker.

• Outstanding communication, organizational skills, and project-management talents.

I would prefer to receive assignments in the Van Nuys area, and compensation requirements are negotiable. I look forward to speaking with you regarding steps I should follow to be considered for and, I hope, serve in temporary assignments for Any Temporary. I will call to discuss those steps and, should you judge appropriate, to conduct an interview and any testing. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Chris Smith
