Skills
Public and media relations – served as the face of the organization when visitors arrived. Constantly built relationships through networking with other organizations to build long standing relationships that helped each other when needed. Fostered a safe, highly positive, and great environment for all who were a part of it.
Performance evaluation – As the primary supervisor for my department I was in charge of monthly, quarterly, and annual performance evaluations for each of them. During the ten years I served, I had as many as 40 or more at one given time. All performance evaluations were complete ahead of schedule based on a system I implemented to correspond with ongoing projects.
Effective time manager – Through decisive scheduling and networking with sister companies, I was able to effectively manage the time of all subordinates and employees down to the minute for tasks and projects. With cooperation from our parent company, often times I was able to be ahead of schedule.
Supervisory skills – was consistently in charge of personnel ranging from three to over 40 individuals. Maintained effective time management among my subordinates while maintaining my own. Oversaw many projects and operations throughout a 10-year career that resulted in exemplary remarks from the higher echelon of leadership.
Transcribing – I was in charge of drafting, proof reading, and completing any and all correspondence and reports for the organization. I was the final step before it went to the manager of the organization for a final signature.
Typing skills – I am able to type over 70 words a minute with zero errors. I was noted as the main source for all reports and correspondence from the organization before it was sent to the parent company.
Computer operations – My primary tool during my time as office manager/administrative assistant was a computer. I learned quickly how to gain experience with Microsoft Office and the tools involved with it.
Conflict resolution – Through a number of instances, conflicts arose in the workplace. As the office manager, it was my duty to ensure they were resolved before further conflict arose. Often times it involved closed door sessions to dive into what the root of the problem was before things got out of hand.
Strong verbal communicator – Often times I was leading meetings or introducing those who were. I was dictating from slide shows or other presentations, or even teaching a class. Being a strong verbal communicator took skill to be able to grab the audience in question and keep them involved as some of the material was less than thrilling, but it needed to be understood.
Managing office supplies – I was overall in charge of maintaining the equipment used while working in the head office. I did a bi weekly inventory of all supplies acquired and used so as to have a better knowledge of what was needed in the coming weeks. Every quarter I compiled all notes to have a quarterly order sent out to attain the proper supplies needed to effectively run the office.
Meeting planning – As the office manager/administrative assistant, I was in charge of scheduling and gaining access to the location of the meetings. Often times there would be classes involved or presentations. I was in charge of gaining the proper equipment to support these tasks.
