I am very interested in this administrative/office position! I am currently
a personal/office assistant to an appraisal service company. I have
experience with the copier and fax, computer and internet, research,
filing, organizing, reading, bookkeeping, accounting, writing reports,
phoning and cold-calling, Microsoft Excel, Word, Powerpoint, Clickforms,
Adobe Acrobat and much more. I think I would be a great fit because I have
experience in the office place doing many tasks relevant to this position
and have very much enjoyed being a personal/office assistant. I feel this
is the field where I have the most experience and truly thrive in. I love
helping others, accomplishing goals, "wow-ing" people, exceeding
expectations and doing my job with a little pizzazz -adding some
personality to the job. I take extreme pride in my serious attention to
detail, listening abilities, interpersonal relationship skills, and my
fabulous multi-tasking abilities. Friends, co-workers, teachers and
employers have considered me strong, righteous, having leadership skills
and being observant with an intense attention to detail. I pride myself on
always thinking of others and my ability to easily and naturally prioritize
demands. My work ethic is to be kept busy and always look for more to do!

PERSONAL BACKGROUND
I have completed 4 years or college and will be holding my degree in the
Fall of 2010, and I am very excited for that. One special achievement of
mine is being in newspapers and on news stations for an international event
for a company I worked for, which caught a lot of attention. It was called
"Asked Me Why I'm Naked", a cause bringing awareness to harmful and
unnecessary packaging, waste and the environmental issues that develop.
Another achievement of mine is having partially restored a 1968 Ford
Mustang with my father back in 2005.
Hobbies I enjoy include going to concerts, traveling, meeting new people,
designing clothing, learning something new everyday and getting out of my
comfort zone.
