MS Access




An adaptable, conscientious and self motivated administrator with over 3 years’ experience. Offering a good understanding of human resources gained through post graduate studies. Excellent organisational and interpersonal skills, confident under pressure with a professional attitude. Wishing to develop a career in human resources and a position as a human resources assistant.

My hobbies includes sailing, diving and travelling. I also love being creative and am currently learning dressmaking.

After graduating I worked as a temporary administrator before commencing teacher training. Whilst working as a teacher I realised that although I enjoyed teaching, it was not my vocation and my skills were better suited to a business environment. In 2007, I got married and relocated to Japan and then Hong Kong with my husband. Whilst living in Asia I took the opportunity to learn new skills and studied business and Japanese. I also travelled throughout the region and worked as a volunteer on a part time basis.
