SUMMARY
A member of the Wealth Management Group administrative team, I have excelled within this complex and demanding corporate service role.

This is my first role after completing my Certificate III in Business Administration. I am proud of my professional growth over the past two years.

EXPERIENCE
ADMINISTRATION OFFICER
ZYX Bank | Wealth Management Group
As an Administration Officer, I greet and direct visitors, respond to routine queries and perform general administrative support. On occasions, I step in as a Personal Assistant (PA) to the Office Manager. This was my first role following graduation from my Certificate III in Business Administration, and I overcame a steep learning curve to master a complex service role in a challenging corporate environment. I applied myself whole-heartily to quickly gain confidence and the skills to take the pressure off other administrative staff.
ACHIEVEMENTS
- I was selected to provide dedicated PA support to the Office Manager. Drawing on my time management skills, Ihave handled the higher workloads and competing demands with ease.
- Leveraging my attention to detail, I coordinated the travel arrangements for eight staff. I kept track of specific individual requirements and then communicated arrangements.
- I assisted the mailroom in resolving the accumulation of mail containers by contacting Australia Post to organise the collection and reuse of containers.
- My manager received an email praising my customer service. I exceeded customer expectations when responding to a complex enquiry.
- I trained a new administration team member, sharing my knowledge and expertise in Switchboard and TelephoneVoice Mail System.
