Dear Sir / Madam,

Please find attached my CV as part of my application for Executive Assistant, I feel my skills and experience are an excellent match.  I carry excellent communication skills with the ability to multitask and interface at all levels and with key internal and external stakeholders.

I have recently been made redundant from my role as Executive PA supporting the MD at a Manufacturing / Engineering company. Prior to this I supported the Chief Finance Officer within a busy local hospital (George Eliot Hospital) in Nuneaton, Warwickshire and in between these roles I held a sales management position to help bring a new product to market. 

I am currently looking for a new challenge to start in July or August. I am a highly motivated and enthusiastic Executive PA looking to work alongside a management / directorship team to support them in achieving their business goals. I carry excellent verbal and interpersonal communication skills and have the ability to multitask and interact with internal and external stakeholders at all levels. I am highly motivated, organised and would consider myself as having a good commercial awareness and business acumen which I believe, along with my skills and experience, would be of excellent benefit to this role. I would love to discuss this role further and look forward to hearing from you soon

Yours faithfully,

Tracey Patterson
