General Summary

My previous positions required self-motivation, attention to detail, the ability to multi-

task, and the ability to trouble shoot problems. These positions involved working with

clients to determine needs and communicating the status of projects to them. As a team

lead on projects, I had the responsibility to coordinate the work of team members and

keep projects on track. Also I developed and maintained project plans and prepared

project documentation. Besides, I trained users and prepared user documentation. I am

familiar with web based development, training in DreamWeaver and creating small

websites.

I am very familiar with MS office programs. Previous positions included the use of

Outlook for email and maintaining contact lists, also for setting up meetings and

maintaining task lists. They also included using Word for the production of

documentation. Some of the positions included the use of PowerPoint to produce

presentations and Project to set up and monitor projects. Others positions have required

the use of Visio to prepare process flows and detailed flow charts. I have used FTP/IP to

download information into Excel. As secretary for WMCPA (a midrange professional

group) I used Word for the monthly newsletter and Excel for the mailing list.
