I have extensive administrative support experience at the executive level and pride myself on excelling at any task and having the ability to wear many hats at one time.
In my most recent position as an Executive Assistant for a VP at HBO, I served as the gatekeeper, extensive travel coordinator, and assistant. My reputation as a competent team member who always gets the job done comes from my ability to work cross-functionally and multi-task various responsibilities such as preparing expense reports, credit card reconciliation, travel arrangements and organizing company meetings and off-site events.
The most important skill I pride myself on that will greatly fit this role is that I am resourceful and an avid self-starter. My experience has taught me the importance of being proactive and adapt as situations arise. When I began my current position, I learned that having technical proficiency in the company's database would help make my job a lot easier because I would have direct access to the data rather than going through another employee. Our training resources were scarce, so I self-taught myself how to use the program over the course of a few days and now as I look back, it was well worth the effort. I've learned that work no longer seems like a job for me when I can juggle multiple projects and can anticipate needs before they become problems – that's when I'm at my best.
My favorite color is blue.
