My college training, I think, provides an excellent foundation for the position. I have always been interested in writing, and you will see from my resume that I have concentrated heavily on English and Journalism. I have held editorial positions in both high school and college. During my sophomore year I studied shorthand and typewriting; I have continued to use these skills in my college work.
As an administrative assistant to your editor, I would welcome the opportunity to assist in an editorial capacity as well as to use my secretarial skills. I have had experience in proofreading and in layout. My secretarial skills are well above average, and I find it easy to work with others.
