Under NRI, I have had the opportunity to work temporary jobs which have challenged me to quickly master new tasks in fast paced environments.I have worked at Vornado/Charles E. Smith, the Washington DC division of Vornado Realty Trust, as a front desk receptionist. In this assignment I handled a much higher volume of incoming phone calls and client interaction than I have in previous jobs. There was also a greater element of calendar management than in past jobs.I worked with SLA Worldwide as they hosted the first annual Federal Contracting Academy for Historically Black Colleges and Universities. This was a very fast paced 3-day assignment, which culminated in a Pitch and Match between research colleges seeking grants, and federal divisions seeking research institutions to fund. I was responsible for researching the core competency areas of each of the 40 institutions, the funding interests of the 22 federal divisions, and then matching up each of the research institutions with the 3 federal divisions most likely to be interested in funding them. I was then responsible for quickly mastering a new-to-me program in order to schedule 110 meetings in a 2 hour period between the researchers and funders.Other assignments through NRI have given me the opportunity to gain experience in vendor communication, database maintenance, research, event coordination, front desk reception, supply ordering, inventory maintenance, and document management.

Fairfax, Virginia

As the assistant at Tolin, I served as both the administrative assistant and the front desk receptionist. As the receptionist, I handled incoming and outgoing mail, greeted visitors, and answered phones.As the administrative assistant, I took over any tasks I could in order to give other employees more time to run the business. An important overarching task was maintaining a line of communication with my supervisor about implementing new ways to maximize office efficiency. I managed monthly expenses for the managers, maintained supply inventory for the office, and facilitated repair logistics for broken office equipment. As new sales accounts were created in our system, it was my responsibility to create Service Agreements to send out to the clients. I was also responsible for creating other client documents, such as warranty letters, operations manuals, notices of contract renewal or cancellation, and service tracking binders.I maintained communication with our fleet of service technicians and made sure any vehicle paperwork or necessary payments were taken care of so that the technicians were free to do their job.Because of a sudden branch closure, my time at Tolin was brief, but enjoyable.

Atlanta, Georgia

I was the department assistant for the Substation Design group in POWER's Atlanta office. I supported a team of 13 or so engineers and the department manager in any area I was able to. Maintaining the filing system and managing documents were my biggest responsibilities, and I created, proofread, and formatted most documents going out from our department. I was also responsible for data entry where necessary, project set up within our company systems, processing paperwork and expense reports, and travel management. When the engineers were short on time, I made myself available to help out with tasks such as checking drawings for editorial errors, creating inventory lists for supplies needed on the project sites, and basic drawing adjustments in AutoCAD and MicroStation.I frequently filled in as a front desk receptionist when needed, and provided general office support.

Northfork, West Virginia

As a Home Repair Intern, I was responsible for managing multiple project sites throughout the summer. I maintained supply inventory for each project, oversaw teams of 5-10 volunteers as they picked up where the previous week's team left off, managed project budgets, and handled any interpersonal issues that arose. I was responsible for seeing any potential roadblocks and heading them off before they materialized. The ability to easily work with many different personality types also turned out to be an important skill to possess.
