I worked for ATS for several months before relocating to Australia and really enjoyed the team and fast-paced working environment.I was managing a busy switchboard and being first point of all enquiries helped me to quickly get an insight to the business. Progressing purchase orders, cost sheet control, meetings management and travel arrangement were some of my main tasks. As an assistant to the Operations Manager I further developed my organizational skills through extensive calendar management, expenses, producing high volumes of documentation. My role has greatly helped my communication and presentation skills as it required high level of professionalism in dealing with client's enquiries.
