Profile

A professional individual who displays good organisational abilities and a proactive and tenacious and meticulous approach to projects and challenges. I am equally competent working independently and within a team framework, and have very good communication skills at all levels. Effective management of my time enables me to meet deadlines and prioritize whilst maintaining consistently high standards. I show initiative, am an adept problem-solver and am dependable and stress tolerant. I am a single Zimbabwean woman of 34 with no dependents who holds a valid passport. I am looking for a demanding and challenging position in a mid level administrative capacity in a capacity where I can use my background, multi-skill set and experience to best advantage and make a meaningful contribution to the organisation. There is no preference regarding industry or sector.
