To the office of student employment,


Im writing this cover letter regarding job posting number 0834109, the office assistant position in
the Psych Community Behavioral Health department at UNM. As a psychology student at UNM with
previous office assistant work, I believe I would be an excellent fit for the position. My current career
objective is to work for UNM as a researcher and teacher in the psychology department so getting
experience working for UNM, and learning the departments procedures and rules would give me a
better idea of what to expect for future employment. Towards this goal, I am currently taking classes
full time at UNM towards a BA in psychology and am on track to graduate in 2018.
From June to August of 2015, I interned at Brookdale Senior Living as a general activities assistant
and office assistant. There, I gained experience using Microsoft Office, making copies, putting
together pamphlets, answering phones, and directing seniors in activities. While the last might not be
explicitly relevant to office assistant work, it did teach me how to properly and respectfully handle
difficult customers. I have become very skilled in navigating and manipulating Excel and Microsoft
word documents as I spent a fair amount of time organizing resident files.
I am currently a full time student of the College of Arts and Sciences at UNM. I am a hard and
dedicated worker, currently maintaining both the Amigo scholarship and enrollment in the honors
college. As I am currently taking psychology classes, I have knowledge of psychiatric terms. I am
very invested in my education, and as such will seek to understand any expressions or terminology I
come across that are new to me.
Thank you for taking the time to read my application, I look forward to hearing your response.
