In my current position of ten years as an administrative assistant for Down
Under and Out, an Australian producer of underwear and outerwear, I provide
frontline support to the Vice President of Sales &
Marketing.
In this challenging sales support position, I am depended on for my excellent ability to handle an
extremely large workload while interfacing extensively between vendors, sales
representatives and warehouse personnel to confirm pricing, shipments, and
inventory replenishments.
In addition to my creative talents used for maintaining the company's website, I have strong analytical skills that are fully
used to conduct market research, track inventory, and to prepare monthly sales and expense
reports.
My role extends to working directly with buyers and coordinating the logistics
of showroom events. For the most part, this includes sending / confirming
invitations, preparing inventory and preparing the showroom to ensure all
merchandise is displayed effectively, and resolving a myriad of problems.
I started with the company as receptionist and accepted more responsibilities as
the company expanded. I am very appreciative of everything I've learned, and can
honestly say that I have been instrumental in the company's growth. However, it
is time for me to explore other administrative opportunities that will
invigorate my career in new ways.
