Show profile Hide profileI am currently employed as an Editorial Assistant/Administrator at Struik Nature, an imprint of Penguin Random House South Africa (Pty) Ltd (www.randomstruik.co.za / www.penguinrandomhouse.co.za). I am part of a team that makes beautiful and technically involved books. My responsibilities include extensive editorial support; in addition, I provide support to the marketing department, designers and our authors. I am also in charge of archiving and database maintenance, and other administrative duties. In a nutshell, I am the all-round multi-tasking support to our department. I have also been extensively exposed to the e-books conversion process. I am currently in charge of our reprints and I do the author corrections and supply the printers with final full sets of pdf's - whenever we change printers in which case I have to re-supply the cover with the new printers spine width etc. Then, I also give support to our department Head, by doing Contract Summaries and distributing them and submitting our monthly turnover figures.
As far as my career history is concerned, have always been either in a frontline position or administrative support position, therefore I am calm in a crisis and find solutions that work. I can work in a team and on my own. I have very good interpersonal and communication skills and am able to work meticulously and efficiently under pressure. In 2008 I was nominated for the overall administrative support award, which I won. I perform best when I have many varied tasks, and when the work challenges me to stretch myself and learn quickly.
I have a very good knowledge of the MS Office applications and extensive working knowledge of the Apple Macintosh platform.
