Dear …………,

From a recent advert on the Dayjob.com website, I understand that your company is going through a period of rapid expansion and is now seeking a new File Clerk to work within your office.

I can quickly sort out and file papers alphabetically and according to their content, dates and significance etc.

I come to you as a capable File Clerk who will ensure that my colleagues and senior managers have the most accurate and up-to-date documentation they need when they want it. I am an expert in maintaining files and accurately updating internal management databases and filing systems. I will always be there to constantly look for ways to improve filing systems.

I will bring energy, passion and a sense of fun to everything I do. What I feel really makes me unique is my eye for detail, especially when it comes to data inputting and accuracy with numbers. You can rely on me to accurately create new files and update existing ones. I have great attention to detail and always double check paperwork before it is filed.

With my current employer I play a crucial role in maintaining the smooth operation of an organization by providing timely access to important documents and records. I also carry out a number of administrative duties, including typing, photocopying, filing and scanning as well as assisting with some accounting procedures. As part of my duties sit at a desk and work on a computer for extended periods of time.

Through my career I have gained extensive experience of using alphabetical and numerical systems to organize paper and electronic records documents. I have learnt how to improve the accuracy of the filing system at every opportunity.

On a personal level I am well organised, self-motivated and have a strong desire to be a perfectionist who gets it right first time, every time.

At this stage of my career, I am keen to work for a responsible employer like yours, that has family-friendly working policies such as enhanced maternity and paternity pay. If you require any further information, please get in touch. In any event, I look forward to hearing from you as the recruitment process progresses and hope you will invite me to an interview. Thank you for taking the time to review my application.

Should you find interest in my application, then I will be available for an interview at your convenience.

Yours sincerely,
