Personal Statement: An Application As An Administrative Assistant

“Letto diciassette!” I froze at the sound of “bed seventeen,” and watched with horror as the Italian nurse ran into my grandmother’s hospital room. The monitors were beeping out of control, yet my heart seemed to be beating even faster and louder. I stood at the end of the dimly lit hall, shaking and unable to move. A health care provider spotted me standing there, desperate, alone, and vulnerable, and made her way over to comfort me. The feelings I experienced next were what I remember most when I look back on that dark and gloomy day in Italy. ***The feelings of hope, reassurance and genuine kindness. The feeling that a missing piece of my heart had been put back where it belonged. That is what I remember most and that is the role I want

What experiences have you had which prepare you for this position (e.g perhaps as an employee, leader, or working with people different from yourself, etc)?

Based on my experience in the classroom and my educational background, I want to pursue a certification as a K-12 administrator because I want to help and work with a larger population of students. My desire to enhance the culture and community in a school building has come from working with three amazing, passionate, and dedicated administrators (one principal and two vice principals) in my school building. Their drive to positively influence the lives of students, collaborate with parents, and enhance the teaching styles of all the faculty members in the building, has motivated me to want to do the same. A new challenge is presented every day in a school building, and I want to be part of an administrative team that will successfully work together to overcome each and every obstacle in order to better the educational experience of students.

I’ve always loved children and helping to care for them, and the opportunity to be a teaching assistant in SMIC’s annual summer camp in 2013 was perfect for me. I’ve always loved babysitting, but actually being able to teach seemed fun and different. For two weeks of July, along with the teacher I was assigned to, I helped teach basic English to eight year-olds from local Chinese schools. Although they could be rowdy or annoying at times, I grew fond of these kids and they of me. I learned to be patient with these children and not get irritated at what I thought were simple words or phrases. I discovered that teaching younger children was not only about teaching them the content in their textbooks, but also caring for them and helping them grow mentally. Situations like breaking up

“He who has health has hope. And he who has hope, has everything.”- Benjamin Franklin. The decision to pursue a lifetime of service within the Healthcare industry was quite easy for me. After witnessing the importance of having exceptional health care first hand, I want to do everything I can to assist others by ensuring that healthcare policies and procedures are followed properly. Without proper health care, a person can feel lost and hopeless. I believe that an Administrative Fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital will enable me with the necessary tools to plan, direct, communicate, and govern effectively in a health care facility.

I am writing to express my interest in your current opening for a medical administrative assistant. Please accept my resume for your consideration. I have experience working with busy medical environments, numerous phone lines and a large professional staff. I have comprehensible knowledge in healthcare procedures and medical terminology. My specific skills and expertise include greeting patients, scheduling appointments by means of manual or computerized systems, making payment documents for services and directing patients to appropriate areas.

I am interested in becoming a teaching assistant in the UTEP sociology and anthropology department partly due to my interest in, the undergraduate students I would be teaching, and my ability to connect to them. A TA can fill a vital role in reaching students who lack the social and culture capital to interact confidently with professors. I have the background, skill and experience to fill this role. As an undergraduate student in this department, I was an unofficial mentor to students who was new to the Women and Gender Studies department, as well as to a student who was new to the Sociology and Anthropology department. As someone who had initially lacked the social and cultural capital to effectively communicate with my advisor, I understood their need to connect with someone who would be able to offer them advice, and help them learn how to communicate with their professors/advisors.

I am writing in response to your advertisement in Indeed for a full time Patient Care Coord Med Assistant. Based on the requirements listed in the advertisement, I feel that my skills and experience are a perfect match for this position.

The primary reason you should hire me an entry-level Certified Medical Assistant is because I have a repertoire of skills that would benefit the medical practice. First of all, I took “Computer Applications” in my senior year of high school and allows me to comprehend computer programs and functions. Due to my background with computer programming, learning to use the EMR programming would be an easy transition for me. Another great benefit for the office, is that I have vast experience in customer service and secretarial duties. I am comfortable with answering phone calls, conversing with patients, working with computer programming, and so much more. Not only am I knowledgeable of secretarial responsibilities, I’m also multi-lingual. My nationality

Taking care of a boisterous class of first graders is not an easy task, especially for an eleven-year-old. Since the summer of 2011, I have been a teacher’s assistant at my former elementary school, Argonne. Argonne is a year-round school, and the teachers are always in need of volunteers during the busy summer months. As a volunteer, I help grade papers, file documents, chaperone field trips, teach math lessons, and even lead physical education classes. I serve as an aid in the classroom and work individually with students.

Objective: I would like to pursue to be an Instructional Assistant for Head Start Level IV. I am aware this is a diverse setting that will allow me to understand children's needs. I pride myself in achieving goals set and determined to develop my organizational skills further by planning and having leadership roles.

The smell of fresh coffee brewing and donuts surrounded me as I strolled into the break room. I was ready for another week of summer camp as a camp counselor assistant. Suddenly, the volunteer coordinator rushed in. She informed me that I was relieved of my position as a volunteer at Children's Museum because I had failed to fulfill my duties. After 4 years of service, I was “fired” because of a lapse in judgment.

My love for the business aspect of healthcare has contributed to me wanting to make a difference in other people's lives, and help improve the lives of many people. That's why one unforgettable experience that has taught me to be firm in spite of difficulty and the true meaning of tenacity, was when I got the opportunity to work as an administrative assistant at an accountant firm. I was a recent graduate from an community college and I knew I wanted to do more in my life ,but I wasn’t sure how or where to start . I decide to apply for multiple office jobs not expecting to get a call back, but hoping I would.

I write in pursuit of becoming a teaching assistant for EG-1003 beginning this fall. I seek this position wishing to further develop my skills in communication and collaboration. Furthermore, I would admire watching student creativity in action when they work in the labs and interacting with others when helping them solve problems. I believe my previous experience and personality enable me to be an effective teaching assistant.

An Administrative Assistant can be categorized into two types: One that may work in an educative environment or one that may work for a business in an office.
