Motivational
Paragraph
A results driven, self-motivated and resourceful person. My work experience has taught me to get far in any industry and need a strong backbone especially in the construction industry. I am a hard worker and always keen to learn new things.
Being a secretary I represent my 3 bosses and the face of the company always being professional at introducing myself as well as the company.
I take pride in my work and always assist wherever I can to the best of my ability. I am always available to my company after hours and put the company first, if I look after the company the company will look after me.
I work very well under pressure and stressful environments when it comes to last minute tasks my boss would need be it out of office hours or working hours. Can communicate effectively with developers / contractors / sub-contractors / clients and would an asset to any employer who respects loyalty and responsibility from an employee.
Currently looking for an opportunity to join a dynamic, ambitious and growing company to forge a career
