1. INTRODUCTION
I am a driven, hardworking person who has extensive office management and client liaison experience. Coupled with my
strong communication skills, I am an independent worker who is also able to work well within a team. I have managed an
office through which at least 200 customers were dealt with on a daily basis, where I was exposed to QuickBooks and the
Microsoft office Suite. The industry was electronic tendering media and I remained in this industry, by working for four other
institutions since then. I have managed up to 10 people and often work independently but within the guidelines of company
requirements.
I constantly enjoy exploring new avenues and learning new things. I strive to grow intellectually and always put 110% effort
into all my projects.
I am seeking management/administrative positions that will suite both my management skills and extensive experience in
the tendering industry. I have worked in the tendering industry for over ten years and as a result am totally proficient with all
procurement procedures and requirements.
