Read the job advertisement carefully and highlight the key duties, required qualifications and the benefits offered. Make a checklist of the essential skills that the employer is looking for: administrative support, calendar management, minute‑taking, handling phone and email enquiries, social‑media management, document typing and filing, computer literacy (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, email) and fluency in both English and Bengali.
Prepare a résumé that matches this checklist. Use a clear chronological format, start with a personal profile that describes you as diligent, responsible, smart and able to work under pressure. List your education – Bachelor’s degree (and Master’s degree if you have one) – and note any relevant courses such as office administration, business communication or legal studies. In the work‑experience section, focus on positions where you performed secretarial or administrative tasks. For each role, give concrete examples that demonstrate the abilities the posting requests: managing calendars for senior staff, organizing meetings and conferences, drafting minutes and correspondence, handling customer queries over the phone, maintaining filing systems, and running social‑media pages. Quantify results where possible (e.g., “organized 15+ executive meetings per month with zero scheduling conflicts”).
Add a skills section that lists: typing speed for both English and Bengali, Microsoft Office proficiency, email etiquette, telephone etiquette, social‑media platforms used, and any relevant software for document management. Include soft‑skill descriptors such as trustworthiness, sincerity, ability to work independently and under time pressure.
Write a tailored cover letter addressed to the Head of Chambers or to the hiring team at Universitas Law Chambers. Begin by stating the position you are applying for and where you found the advertisement. Explain why you are interested in working for a law chamber and how your background fits the duties listed. Mention specific experiences that align with the responsibilities – for example, “I have coordinated over 30 internal and external conferences for senior lawyers, ensuring all logistical and documentation needs were met.” Highlight your bilingual communication strengths and your willingness to take on challenges. Conclude by expressing enthusiasm for an interview and provide your contact details.
Gather any supporting documents that may strengthen your application: academic transcripts, certificates of typing speed or Microsoft Office proficiency, reference letters from previous supervisors who can attest to your reliability and secretarial performance. Ensure all files are saved in PDF format, named clearly (e.g., “FirstName_LastName_Resume.pdf”, “FirstName_LastName_CoverLetter.pdf”).
Before sending the application, double‑check the email address provided (ulcbdmanagement@gmail.com). Draft a concise email body that repeats the purpose of your message, attaches the documents, and thanks the recipient for the opportunity. Use a professional subject line such as “Application for Personal Secretary – [Your Full Name]”.
If you prefer to submit a hard copy, print the documents on good quality paper, sign the cover letter, and place everything in a neat envelope addressed to Universitas Law Chambers, Room No. 1104, 10th floor, Shahera Tropical Center, 218 Elephant Road, Dhaka‑1205.
Prepare for the interview by researching Universitas Law Chambers: review their website, note the services they provide, their client base, and any recent news or events. Be ready to discuss how you would handle typical scenarios mentioned in the ad, such as managing conflicting appointments, dealing with demanding callers, or updating social‑media content. Practice answering behavioural questions that reveal your reliability, discretion and ability to work under pressure (e.g., “Tell us about a time you missed a deadline and how you rectified it”).
Plan your attire – business formal, neat grooming, and bring a folder with extra copies of your résumé, a list of references, and a notebook for taking notes. Arrive at least ten minutes early at the Dhaka/Tangail location, or if the interview is virtual, test your internet connection, webcam and microphone ahead of time.
Finally, keep a record of the application date (10 December 2025 is the deadline) and any follow‑up actions. Send a brief thank‑you email within 24 hours after the interview, reiterating your interest and summarising how your skills match the Personal Secretary role. This demonstrates professionalism and reinforces your candidacy.
