*NOTE:
For the purposes of this document, substitute teacher is in essence a supply teacher; one who takes the place of the
teacher in his/her absence.
The gaps in employment, i.e. May-August, are caused by occurrences of summer holiday.
KEY SKILLS:
I am competent and fluent in the use of Microsoft Windows Operating Systems
(includes Microsoft Office Applications such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint),
Smartboard, and Mac OS X. In addition to an affinity for helping others, I also
possess a great many useful clerical skills including excellent phone etiquette &
experience with organisational design. I created an efficient filing system to track &
maintain confidential profile folders for more accurate record keeping in a position as
a Personal Assistant for the Academic Affairs office in an institution of higher
learning. I believe these skills will also be of advantage in an office environment.
INTERESTS:
I enjoy reading, dancing/exercising (Zumba, Salsa, etc.), and learning new
technologies. I am semi-fluent in Mexican Spanish and am keen to obtain full
7. Castillan Spanish language fluency with a view to working as a Translator.
