Dear Preservation Action Council of San Jose,
Regarding: Part time Assistant to the Preservation Action Council of San Jose.
I was excited when I saw this position and would like to apply. I believe I have all the skills you are looking for as well as a strong passion for preserving our history. It would be an honor to be part of your team. I am part of the story here. I was born and raised in San Jose and my father was born and raised in the Santa Clara old quad.
I have volunteered as a docent for the Santa Clara Historic Home tour for years and I am a member of the Art Deco Society of California. I like helping others. As a youth group leader created many large group events in Santa Clara County. My high tech background working in software development and implementation for companies like Sun Micro Systems and Apple Computer has given me the technical skills you are looking for in web site updates, communication, project management and Microsoft Office. As a financial software professional I have very strong accounting/bookkeeping skills and I like working with numbers. I learn new technology independently and very quickly. I have a BS in Information Systems Management from USF.
As a hobby, for years, I have sold vintage items and antiques on Ebay so I am skilled with pricing, listing, shipping and packing online orders. I see you have a garage sale section on your web site and I can tell you I am also expert at that!
This position has all the things I like do. No job to big or too small for me. I am flexible with my time and I am looking for a part time position. You can depend on me. I look forward to discussing this position in more detail to see how I can be part of such an important effort to preserve our past.
It would be an honor to work as part of your team.
Best Regards Jennifer
