Working within this Japanese Bank, this was my last *job* in the City of London. I left in November 2001 to go on maternity leave and I was offered the permanent position but I decided not to return to paid work after the birth of my twins. During my time at Nomura, I provided PA and secretarial support to the Head of the Legal Department/Transaction Management.

I was employed to provide full secretarial and PA support to the Managing Director and also act as the Office Manger. Duties included smooth running of office administration; running reception area; answering all incoming calls for office; ordering stationery and office supplies; diary management; arranging client meetings; taking dictation; audio typing; typing letters, memos faxes; business expense reconciliation; travel arrangements.
