Office Manager Job Application Cover Letter Example

Office Managers often laughingly refer to themselves as ‘General Dogs Body’, i.e. their job role is very varied and can cover anything from accounting, organising the office and allocating projects to staff, to secretarial and cleaning duties.

If this is a role which you are keen to apply for, then the specific skills and attributes the interviewer will be looking for will vary from one company to another, but it is likely you will be expected to be flexible and turn your hand to anything.

Dear [Name],

Office Manager Vacancy

Excellent background in office positions and an established record of reliability and team working in my secretarial role truly qualify me for consideration as part of your team.

During the course of my current role I have expanded my job role to incorporate bookkeeping and basic accounting to add to my existing responsibilities including maintaining records of the progress of projects and general administrative duties.

Your company is very interesting to me, and having reviewed your website and spoken to an existing employee, I am confident that it would be an exciting place to work.

I am actively searching for a challenge and consider I would be ideally suited to this role and I very much look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Mr Hammond,

I would like to apply for the Office Manager position as advertised in The Brighton Times recently and have attached my CV for your inspection.

I am a self-motivated administration professional with exceptional interpersonal and organisational skills. I pride myself on my problem-solving abilities using initiative and determination, and always maintain integrity and loyalty.

My office administration/management experience spans small and large companies in technology services, finance and publishing, and my day-to-day office duties for recent positions are similar to those described in the advertised position.

My current employer, Boatshed Ltd, is a small company of eight employees and my role includes office administration and working across all business divisions. I manage all the financial transactions including paying suppliers, processing payroll using Sage, preparing monthly statements and managing petty cash. My administration tasks include managing employees’ entitlements, and I also work on marketing projects and oversee recruitment. In all positions I have held throughout my career, I have demonstrated strong communication and organisational skills, discretion and integrity.

I look forward to an opportunity to discuss my suitability for the position further at an interview and I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.

Yours sincerely
