About Me

I am a recent college graduate with excellent communication skills, a positive attitude, and a professional demeanor. I am interested in an entry-level position in the publishing industry as an editorial assistant, copy editor, or proofreader, or in a temporary position as an administrative assistant or receptionist.

Education

Having graduated with a bachelor's degree in English from Southern Oregon University, I have excellent writing and communication skills from my classes in advanced composition and technical writing. My strong attention to detail and work quality helped my grammar, spelling, and editing skills consistently rank at the top of my class, while my minor in applied multimedia provided me with a basic knowledge of Illustrator, Director, Flash, and Dreamweaver, as well as more advanced experience with Photoshop and the Microsoft Office suite.

Experience

I paid my way through college by working half-time for the Stevenson Union Physical Plant as a student manager, a job which required me to learn administrative skills to support my supervisors, including scheduling meetings, preparing correspondence, taking dictation, answering the phone, and organizing the office. As a manager I also scheduled employees, planned and prioritized the day's activities (including handling multiple projects concurrently), and developed excellent listening skills and the ability to keep calm in stressful, deadline-driven situations.

Conclusion

I am a cheerful, adaptable, conscientious worker, and have faith that I can be a positive addition to any company.
