I also ran janitorial crews to keep the client dormitories and other facilities clean and sanitary.
Promotion Assembly Line 04/1985 - 04/1989

I started as Typesetter and Proofreader; then when we computerized, also did the layout on the new MacIntosh. I received designs from the artists; then executed them on the computer in liaison with the photographers and other team members. I sometimes had to edit content to fit the space available or for better grammatical sense or to make it easier for the reader to grasp. I contacted various printers to get quotes and submitted purchase orders for approval prior to printing. Once the shooting boards were finalized and approval obtained, I attended press checks to do a final quality check to ensure the highest standards of quality were met.

Church of Scientology of California
I began as receptionist, then was promoted to this position, which is similar to a personal secretary. I handled all communications for the Director, ensuring nothing got through to him that should have been handled by one of his junior executives or another staff member, correcting the persons involved so they routed their communications properly. I kept records, charts, boards updated for him so he always had current information. I issued written orders as a follow-up to his oral ones, and ensured these were complied with in a timely manner. I ran personal errands for him (including Christmas shopping), and I cared for his daughter after school. There were more duties too numerous to mention.

Executive Aviation
Missoula, MT
I operated the fuel service department for this company who sold Cessnas, rented tie-down spaces and hangars to plane owners, and gave flight lessons. I sold fuel to small aircraft pilots, kept the company fleet fueled, balanced the sales receipts daily, kept the fuel truck tanks filled from the underground fuel farm and ordered fuel when needed. I also pulled planes from hangars and replaced them for the owners. I swept snow from the wings of tied-down planes so they wouldn’t break, ran the snow plough, and various related duties.
