First of all, I would like to thank you for the opportunity to apply for the position of Office Assistant at UNC’s International Programs Department. I have carefully reviewed the requirements of the job and it is a perfect fit to my academic schedule, skills, and strengths.
I am only taking classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays this semester which means my academic obligations won’t interfere with my responsibilities at the International Programs Office. I am also well equipped to handle the responsibilities of the job because I have long been involved with the events organized in coordination with the International Programs Department. As an international student, I frequently interact with other international students and have good understanding of their issues and needs.

I also possess the soft skills required to do the job of an Office Assistant. I am multi-lingual and have excellent communication skills. I am also proficient in the Microsoft Office Suite and other productivity software used in handling the administrative tasks. Fortunately, I already possess administrative and client service experiences, thanks to my internships which involved working in the Operation and Logistics Department. I frequently interacted with internal and external stakeholders and handled inquiries in person, through emails, and over the phone.

My academic performance and my active engagement in co-curricular activities on-campus reflect my ability to multi-task while also adhering to high performance standards. I am confident I will make difference as an Office Assistant from day one at the job. I have been fortunate to have received immense valuable support from the International Programs Office, and I look forward to helping other international students at UNC.

Please do not hesitate to let me know should you have any questions. You may reach me at (your UNC email address) or at (your phone number).

Yours Respectfully,
