I...Read moreI am a sociable person who derives pleasure from helping others. I am always willing to assist by highlighting areas for improvement (where necessary) or generating ideas.

    I have stated general abilities in the 'Work Experience' section below.

    Expertise: Transcription/typesetting/proofreading/WP, Secretarial/Admmin, Teaching: Skills for Life/ICT
    Work Experience Summary: Following attendance on a Private Secretary's Diploma course, I first worked as a Junior Secretary to the Head of a Hair and Bristle merchant. I branched into legal working at Partner/Senior Partner level, mainly in conveyancing (private and commercial) and litigation but with some matrimonial, private client and wills experience acquired also.

    I also worked as a self-employed person and freelancer for film studios and tv companies (production/scripts, teletext - production/classifieds/live updates), book publishers (audio transcription and typesetting), legal and other private companies as well as local authorities and other self-employed or private individuals.

    From the need to reduce working hours I re-trained and worked as an Esol/basic literacy tutor and IT trainer: previous skills and abilities have been consolidated and incorporated during the production of teaching materials and specific course requirements (such as report writing).

    I have a keen eye for detail, am a fast and accurate audio/copy typist with good presentation/layout/design skills. I have proof-reading skills, and have trained and worked as a WP typist/proofreader with Hansard.

    I am now taking another plunge by seeking to incorporate all my skills and using this new medium for acquiring (and advertising) work to gain further employment.
