Dear [Hiring manager's name],
I support one principal at a time, most recently the founder of a private investment firm, managing a calendar that mixes board commitments, family obligations and travel across a single week. I'm applying for the Personal Assistant role at [Family office name] because I've built my career on being the one person a principal never has to loop back and explain something to twice.
I coordinate more than 35 trips a year across commercial and private aviation, with zero missed departures in four years, and I administer a $150,000 household budget that has stayed within 3% of plan every year I've run it. I also oversee two residences and 6 household staff, and I produce 10 to 12 private gatherings a year for up to 75 guests from invitations through follow-up gifting.
I hold a Certified Administrative Professional credential and an active notary commission, and I work under a standing confidentiality agreement covering medical, legal and financial matters. I liaise directly with attorneys, physicians and wealth managers when a principal would rather not be the one relaying details back and forth.
I'd welcome the opportunity to discuss how I could reduce the daily load on your principal from week one, whether that means owning inbox triage or rebuilding a travel itinerary on short notice. Thank you for your discretion in considering this application.
With appreciation,
Amara Rivera, CAP
