Profile

I have completed high school and am looking for my first permanent job as an administrative assistant or receptionist. As a young apprentice, I learned the routine of an office: organizing documents, updating spreadsheets and answering the phone politely. Volunteering at my neighborhood association taught me patience and care when helping families. I am organized, punctual and responsible, and I took courses at Senac and CETAM to prepare myself. I want to grow with the company and I am always eager to learn.
