During my career, which started in 1985, I gained extensive experience through functions I performed as Project Secretary / Administrator / Accounts Payable / Document Controller / Procurement for approximately 19 years on various EPCM engineering / construction projects, which included working across border for four years (Nigeria and DRC). I also worked as Secretary to top/senior management in various companies and Mines.

I enhanced in project administration and document control; Safety, Health and Environment administration; writing minutes of meetings; procurement and stock control; accounts payable; cost control and forecasts; the development of systems and procedures; international and national travel arrangements; hotel bookings; passport and visa control; and the training of staff and supervision over the site document controller, office cleaners and site drivers.

I maintain efficient and accurate typing skills. My computer literacy includes extensive knowledge of MS Office, incl Microsoft 365 package, all previous MS Office packages, Microsoft Visio, Windows 11, fully compliant on Internet, Intranet of relevant companies, WinZip, Acrobat Suite, JD Edwards, DocShare and iPAS DM (document control systems), with basic literacy of SAP, Lotus Notes and Pastel. I also worked on Xero Accounting Software for procurement and accounting purposes.

Some of us experienced hands were taught (on) these for the business world 🤭
Pitman shorthand and typing on these model typewriters - with distinctions in both at the highest qualifying speeds tested at the time.

For every mistake 2 points were deducted. Even for a too lightly typed key, or spelling error in shorthand. You had to really hit those arms/keys quite hard.
You had to write the dictation in shorthand and then back in English or Afrikaans for snelskrif.

I can honestly say I went through every phase of typewriters and technology:

(Starting from the bottom)
• Lotus Notes
• Professor DOS
• Word Perfect Advanced
• Lotus Advanced
• Harvard Graphics
• MultiMate Advanced
• Dataease
• Lanier Wordprocessing
• Electric
..and then the very first Microsoft Office 93... until what it is today...

Let me ease your burden with the accumulated workload due to the lock down period!!

As parents, teachers and scholars start returning back to work and school, there will be a great deal of backlog to be caught up on.

Not to forget about all the overdue administration work and documents that were delayed.

Contact me to provide any administrative or typing work.

We still need to keep up good health and immune systems - not worries and stress!
