DOCUMENT CONTROLLER ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT
Summary
I am an English and Creative Writing graduate with a 1:1 honours degree from Coventry University, now looking for a challenging and proactive role as a Document Controller. My previous work experience has allowed me to specialise in developing organisational systems specifically for the construction industry, building on my work in administrative roles. I pride myself on communicating in a professional and credible manner, throughout all my written work and when interacting with colleagues. I consider myself very capable, with a high level of accuracy and consistency in all areas of my work. In addition to my written communication skills, my degree has prepared me with high-quality verbal ability. In the 'Effective Communication Techniques' and 'Language in Context' modules, I developed a more nuanced understanding of the effects body language, tone and language choice have on the ability to communicate my intentions clearly. I credit this part of my degree in particular with my capability to adapt my communication to meet the needs of others. I feel that my previous qualifications prove that I am also proficient in basic numeracy skills, as I have pursued mathematics qualifications to A Level.
