Executive Level Secretary is the mainstay. I've worked for the military mainly the engineers and computer geeks. So I make a habit of editing what others write. I've written clerical manuals and computer instructions for the clerical user and designed forms.
I've also installed siding, covered windows in coil stock, farming, journalist, computer specialist, and public affairs.
Had stories published in military newspaper, magazine, and one civilian magazine. Even won an award, although they didn't know it was my writing. That was before I was 21.
I can also read about 1800 words a minute and raised a daughter with learning difficulties.
Hobbies include: Gourd Quilling, Gardening, Genealogy, Making Home Movies, Bible Study, and Crafting in general.
I've had a couple of craft ideas and instructions published.
Oddly enough my experiences suit me for Admin duty. Secretaries are really outside the loop. At the executive level, I interact with the people at the top, middle, and bottom. I see how perceptions differ all the way down the ladder. How the top views the bottom and the bottom views the top, etc.
My protestant background and Bible Study suits me for the religious side of discussion.
