I have been providing outstanding administrative support for many years. I
was in my last position for over 8 years when I was suddenly laid off as my
boss retired and the new boss negotiated to bring his previous assistant
with him. Some of the people I have served previously are a Case Management
Director, a President of an event planning company, a COO of a
manufacturing firm, a State Director for a non profit organization, a
senior pastor and staff of a mega church, and a Customer Service Manager
for a national product and service company. My skills are not industry
specific.
I manage details so my bosses don't have to. I provide high-level
independent administrative support and oversight for a broad range of
activities, with the goal of relieving my supervisor of many routine
matters and maximizing the efficiency and effectiveness of the department.
I'm required to exercise a high degree of judgment, confidentiality,
discretion and tact in all communications and interactions. I use all
Microsoft Office applications to successfully complete my diverse tasks. My
tracking and follow-up skills are outstanding as I personally believe
strongly in keeping one's commitments.
Throughout my career as an Executive Assistant, I have maintained the
highest performance standards within a diverse range of administrative
functions. My ability to multi task while paying attention to the details,
has allowed me to function in a role crucial to the success of my
employers. My DNA is that of support and service so I thrive with working
alongside others to increase productivity and to meet needs in an excellent
and caring manner. I have developed the skills that ensure the highest
level of competence, time management and confidentiality.
I understand how to juggle and prioritize the various needs of multiple
supervisors. I served as liaison between department heads and support
staff; assumed role of resource person to office staff while working
effectively with other team members; planned, organized and managed
resources to bring about the successful completion of specific projects
within time frame and within budget constraints. I have the ability to work
equally well in both team-oriented and self-directed environments.
I believe I can offer you a complete package as the ideal candidate. In
addition to outstanding administrative skills, I also offer high moral
values and a strong work ethic. If you are seeking someone who is reliable,
stable, and enthusiastic about serving please contact me as I would welcome
the opportunity to discuss your needs and expectations.
Regards,
Linda Nelson
