Dear Ms. Bec Bliss,
Throughout my career, my passion has been providing the support needed by high achieving teams and individuals to reach their maximum potential. As an assistant of over five years across several diverse industries, I consider myself a catalyst of stronger teams, more focused leaders, and delivered real world outcomes. I am a mother, a wife, and a life long learner looking for my next opportunity for a challenging, engaging part time role. I would be honored to be considered for the Executive Assistant opening at BKB Talent.
What is most enticing to me about the Executive Assistant job description is the opportunity to apply my greatest strengths in time management, task execution, and organization in a role that aligns perfectly with my professional background. In my role as an Administrative Specialist II, I took responsibility for the effectiveness of my executive director by maintaining a balanced and efficient calendar, implementing a proactive email management strategy that earned her recognition as an exceptional communicator, and streamlined processes to reduce pain points for her whole team. I have a proven ability to balance multiple tasks, reprioritizing as emergent tasks arise and have never missed a deadline. I have been called a “time creator” for my diligence behind the scenes that allows my executive director the freedom to focus solely on her higher-level responsibilities. My supervisors in my current and previous roles have commended me on my ability to foresee their needs when using independent judgement to make decisions. I act as a liaison for internal and external communications, always exhibiting professionalism. I have been able to learn the ins-and-outs of multiple online processing systems quickly and was a go-to resource to my previous teams for computer & technology questions.
When I was hired into my position as an Assistant Underwriter, I was told that it would be impossible to be effective in that role while working from home. Due to the pandemic, I was sent home with my computer with only two weeks on the job. Not only was I able to master my responsibilities without the advantage of face-to-face training, but my team reflected that I was able to learn and accomplish more in the time I spent teaching myself how to do the job than they expected I would with traditional training. I would not have been able to become successful in that position, having no relevant prior experience, without my adaptability, communication skills, dependability, and my love of problem solving. I continued to succeed as an independent, self-motivated remote employee in my role as an administrative specialist where I achieved the highest performance rating in 2022, given to less than 1% of the organization. While I do not specifically have payroll processes on my resume, I believe this illustrates that I am fully capable of learning the program and process quickly and effectively.
As a woman looking for an opportunity to further my career and provide for my family, I admire your work as a female founded and led company and would be honored to become a part of it. I am confident that my relevant experience and work ethic shines through on my resume and would make me a valuable addition to your team at BKB Talent. I would love to talk about the opportunity with you at your convenience. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you!

Sincerely,
Allison Miller
