To Whom It May Concern:

My name is Barbara Nichols. I am currently looking for a new beginning, perhaps as a new employee in your company, to broaden my horizons and challenges in a continuing career.

I retired in 2001 from Civil Service after 32 years as secretary/steno in several MAJCOM Directorates. I was hired by CACI Technologies, Inc. to be the Office Administrator 3 working directly for the Program Manager, Mr. Bill McGill, Yorktown Enterprise Operations Office for CACI Technologies, Inc. I was responsible for setting up the suite with new furniture, computers, telephones and many other details. My specific duties included human resource management, monitoring travel authorizations and expense reports, tracking financials on several contracts and developing financial templates which were copied into monthly reports for government contracts. I was also responsible for forecasting labor hours, expenditures, and participating in monthly financial forecast telecons with our Executive VP and corporate costs analysts. Other duties included ordering supplies, monitoring electronic timesheets, monitoring annual reviews and salary increases and managing a small petty cash fund. As the facility security officer certified trained in Industrial FSO Program Management, I was familiar with the NISPOM, and have transitioned from EPSQ to JPAS and e-QIP in managing security and providing training for close to 100 employees both on site and off site.

Most recently employed as an Executive Administrative Assistant/FSO for Applied EM, Inc., a small business enterprise working directly for the President and CEO, Dr. C. J. Reddy. I have been with this company for nearly 12 years. Unfortunately, because of current economic and funding climate I chose to work part time the past two years for Applied EM, Inc. but sadly continuation was too difficult and Applied EM closed its doors effectively 31 December 2017. My duties and responsibilities are listed on my resume and are basically close to what I was doing while working for CACI. Since we have not had classified contracts for quite some time, the security facility was administratively terminated by DISCO in 2011. I have held a Secret and TS clearance prior to now; it should not be a problem acquiring one if required. I have totally enjoyed every facet of working for Dr. Reddy and with the people who were once employed here.

I look forward to hearing from you soon to discuss a future as part of your team. Thank you for your time in reviewing my attached resume.

Very respectfully,

Barbara Nichols
