To Whom It May Concern:
I am very excited to apply what I have learned in the M.Ed in Higher Education program at Penn State to
the field of Higher Education. Some of my strengths include my strong work ethic, attention to detail,
multi-tasking, ability to problem solve, excellent customer service, and communication skills.
My past employment experience, as a bank manager and business manager at a car dealership, required
high competency in the areas of communication and customer satisfaction. Interacting with clients on a
daily basis was a critical component of both positions. Each day brought challenges and problem solving
opportunities which I embraced with a positive attitude and innovative strategies.
My current experience as an Administrative Coordinator in the College of Liberal Arts at Penn State
University and my previous service industry experience makes me an ideal candidate for this position. My
current role has provided me the opportunity to develop and maintain relationships with alumni, students,
faculty, and recruiters. I have organized multiple networking, alumni, and student-alumni engagement
events. My previous hospitality management experience gives me insight to the industry and the
stakeholders.
My outgoing, friendly, positive personality has always enabled me to interact confidently and effectively
with people. I pride myself on my ability to be both a team player and a leader. In addition to my
qualifications, my approach to a higher education position would be one of confidence, willingness to
learn, enthusiasm, and commitment.
During my career I have enjoyed a reputation as being an efficient, organized, supportive, and successful
employee and supervisor who is committed to exceeding customer and employer expectations. As a
member of your team I can provide:

Ability to Successfully Communicate and Work with Diverse Groups

Efficiency, Reliability, and Commitment
Maturity, Honesty, Fairness, and the Ability to Look at Challenges as Opportunities

I have attached my resume for your review. My objective is to establish a time when we can meet to
discuss how my talents, professionalism, and enthusiasm will add value to your organization.
Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to speaking with you soon.
Sincerely,

Patricia Everhart
