Riki Unrau
Art Director And Team Organizer
Cranbrook,BC
Summary
I am currently working part time remotely as an Art Director for a magazine based in Dublin where I plan and manage each month's issue. I oversee a team of 4 writers and 1 editor working closely with them to ensure deadlines are met and obstacles are overcome.
I have an extensive background in administration having worked in an office environment for most of my professional life. I have held the role of office administrator several times in my life and enjoyed it each time. I have all of the skills you are looking for in your job advertisement for an Administrative Assistant and I know that I would excel in the role.
I am affable, mild mannered and exceptionally easy to get along with. I strive to make people feel comfortable and calm around me and I do so quite effectively. I enjoy working in a team or on my own. I currently work at home remotely and I enjoy that set up. But I am looking for additional hours and would thoroughly enjoy jumping back into the wonderful world of administrative organization. An area where my perfectionism can shine.
