During my employment at these various institutions I have gained extensive computer knowledge with regards to Microsoft and other various programs. This has proved extremely useful where research for certain duties was required as it is both time and cost saving. Being in procurement of goods has also given me much insight into taking the initiative when it comes to saving costs through obtaining quotes and enquiring about full services rendered with regards to the products purchased. My duties in my previous positions included the following: Data capturing, client Liaison, dealing with enquiries from customers, clients, consumers and general members of the public, typing of letters and faxes, handling all correspondence (incoming and outgoing), general typing, handling of diaries, organizing the reception and administration areas, receiving of visitors, minute taking (only when required to), managing the office and administration area in general. In my line of experience general call logging, record keeping, filling and paperwork has always played a major part in the fluent functioning of daily business. This has contributed immensely to my exceptional administration skills in more than one aspect. My time as an account manager and sales engineer has thought me valuable lessons in managing my time; entire allocated geographical areas, multiple divisions as well as the people working under my supervision. I have learned precious skills in controlling returns, tempers and demands from both consumers and customers. I am fully capable of applying what I have learned to any working environment to the benefit of my future employer. My people skills – which entangles with my managerial skills can only serve good to wherever it can be applied.
