OBJECTIVE: To contribute my best possible skills in a working environment
that allows creativity as well as a supportive learning atmosphere. To
maintain the respect of my peers and management to know that I strive to
achieve the highest possible quality and skill level in any of my assigned
projects and/or duties.
My profession for the last 30 plus years has been in printing and design.
For the past two years I have worked from home doing design and prep on
various projects for local clients. I am currently interested in working
full or part time to supplement my current income. I am willing to train
and learn new skills.
With the needed attention to detail, quality control, customer service, and
just plain energy it takes to complete a project in the printing prepress
arena, I am sure you could count on me to be accurate, prompt, thorough and
attentive to any project you may assign to me. I am a responsible, caring,
easy going person with a lot to offer whether it be doing reception work,
filing, documentation, data entry, answering phones, or whatever your
office may need on an as needed basis or just part time work Monday through
Friday and Saturdays if needed.
If you feel there is a place for me in your working environment, please
contact me at any time. My contact information is at the top of this page
and my work history is on page 2 for your review. I would be happy to
supply references upon your request.
Thank you so much for your time,
Carol Von Schwab
