An efficient Virtual Assistant with over 32 years experience of supporting senior management teams. Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal. Able to work on own initiative and as part of a team. Good problem solving and analytical skills. For 28 years I have been a qualified City and Guilds Trainer. This qualification enables me to learn a product and then teach it to others. I have carried out training on MS Word and the Internet to an exceptionally high level. Throughout my life's work I have: Managed 56 people as a Supervisor in a typing centre for Local Government. This served departments such as Planning, Environmental ...Health, Engineering, Architecture,
Legal Services and Estates. I have had to type up Minutes of meetings, Specifications for Architects,
Legal... documents of all varieties and prepared for Planning Committees. I can touch copy type accurately at 100 wpm and audio at 120 wpm. My internet experience has stretched over 20 years plus and am experienced with emails, skype and internet researching. I have carried out various high level roles e.g. PA to a Managing Director, Head Legal Secretary/PA to a Director of a Law firm, PA to Chief Executive of Local Government and worked with a Colonel on Royal functions. I have also had to take instructions for wills, conveyances and police statements. For 18 years I worked in Local Government and whilst working there I took part in the emergency strategy in case war broke out. For this I had to take an oath under the Secret Oaths act. Also whilst working at Local Government I had the privilege of working with a Colonel who was in charge of all the Royal events for Portsmouth. This meant I had to liaise with Palace officials and type up event programmes. All of which had to be carried out without any errors and had extremely tight deadlines to meet along with keeping everything top secret. I have carried out work for Committees e.g. Minutes transcription. I am a qualified proof reader. For 15 years now I have assisted in updating websites and carrying out work from the back end of them. I can upload and download websites using the ftp programme, as well as creating new posts in a blog, using wordpress. I have used spreadsheets to collate information for a client who needed sales leads for memberships. I can manage diaries as well as arrange travel/meetings.Skills: Call Center Skills
