Office Assistant

Reliable person interested in the chiropractic office job posted. Willing to learn any skills that the job requires. Experience with computers and answering phones.

Response from Carl: From what you've written you're obviously applying for a specific job, in this case an Office Assistant position in a chiropractor's office from the sounds of it. I'd take out this reference to the job type, as you can include this in your cover letter.

Instead, I'd focus on transferable skills that you have that a chiropractor would want in his or her office. I suspect things like working well with others, strong organization and multi-tasking skills and things of that nature would be a good start.

You mention a few skills in general - computers and answering phones - but I'm sure you could be more specific. In an office environment, I suspect experience with MS Office would be a start and as far as answering phones, pretty much anyone can do that. Many people however can't handle multiple incoming calls and many of us don't have experience handling a high volume of incoming calls so if you have this experience, I'd mention it instead.
