PA Cover Letter For Advertised Personal Assistant Job

Let's prepare a PA Cover Letter, because writing any job application letter can be difficult, especially if you´re unsure where to start, so I've given you some ideas to get started and an example cover letter you can copy. Go straight to the cover letter example for a PA on this page.

Being A PA Is All About...

A Personal Assistant or PA job is all about being responsible for the management of the boss's diary and providing administrative support to achieve the maximum effectiveness of their day. This may include making travel arrangements, scheduling and organising internal / external meetings and conferences; diary management and coordination of all regular demands including replying to emails and letters when required, reading and analysing strategic documents and subsequently preparing reports, perhaps even briefing papers and presentations. Commonly you will be providing a consistent telephone presence and delivering customer service to internal / external Stakeholders.

When you consider that your PA job cover letters may be the thing standing between you and the job you want, you start to realize how important these letters are.

So, with that in mind, I hope that you will find the following cover letter layout tips and the PA cover letter example further down this page, helpful.

Use a personalized version of this letter to send with your CV or Resume, and if you need help with writing your CV or resume, see my services at the foot of this page. You'll find details of my CV writing services from entry level to senior Executive services.

PA Cover Letter: Recommended Layout

Your PA cover letter should be able to stand alone if necessary and highlight sections of your CV which promote those areas of your professional experience which the prospective employer requires. Mostly it should address positively any questions an employer may have about hiring you for the job. Like any other cover letter you might write, you should start at the top with your contact information in the top right of the page. The heading of the letter should include your full postal and email address, and both your mobile (cell) and home telephone numbers.

Getting Your Covering Letter Just Right

Writing a cover letter for your job application is so important but many people find it difficult to get the words just right.

When you are ready to apply for the job you really want, don't lose out because your covering letter wasn't good enough to get their attention. And that is a real shame when it can be so easy to get amazing cover letters without all the effort and struggle.

Yet if you produce a badly written PA cover letter you may ruin the chances of your application succeeding. If you could produce a really good quality, but simple cover letter it would make the whole process much easier and take away at least some of the stress of job hunting.
