About Me
I'm Lizzie, aged 31; I’m married with a Son aged four and a half and a daughter aged 6 months. Our present circumstances mean that I am now a stay at home Mum again, so I am looking for work with flexible hours that I can fit around the routines of my children.
Although I have no formal secretarial qualifications or computing skills, I do have a reasonable amount of practical experience; gained through several years of working in a photocopying and printing business, studying for my degree and through personal use. I also used to edit a quarterly newsletter for a local support group. I can touch type (currently between 50 and 60WPM). I have a lot of experience using both Microsoft Publisher and Word for basic word processing and also layout design (e.g. designing flyers, business cards, invitations etc). I also have a good basic understanding of Excel.
I have constant access to broadband internet at home and also a fax machine.
I believe I’m an approachable person who, although very committed in my approach to work, is also readily adaptable and a fast learner. I thrive on a challenge and work well under pressure.
Areas covered: Based in West Cornwall but looking, primarily, for work from home.
