About me

Dear Sir/Madam,

Below is a list of what I can do and what I can offer your company:

• 20+ years in publishing.

• 45wpm typing speed.

• Can organise a vast work load i.e.: can handle over 5 brochures equaling about 1000 pages. This is a lot to have a hold on. There is zero give on deadlines. They have to be met. I don't know what happens if they're not met, as I have never not met one!

• Can read printers typographical marks (very few people use them these days, but if they do, I can read them).

• I can proof-read.

• I am quick, accurate and have an eye for detail.

• Can usually make sense of other people's writing and written instruction, even when quite unclear.

• Can easily work on other people's work/pages/brochures etc., some people can find this difficult.

• Can handle large amounts of text. Some people find this daunting. I am more than used to it.

• Can create, use and append existing style sheets - regarding text.

• Have design skills and can create something quickly if needed.

• Can change work quickly and always expect change at the last minute - this doesn't faze me. This is the nature of the work: last minute changes.

• Can manipulate, colour correct and retouch images.

• I STRESS: DEADLINES, DEADLINES, DEADLINES. HAVE CLEAR UNDERSTANDING, WILL MEET THEM.

I have never missed a deadline.

I would dearly welcome the opportunity to discuss how I could make a contribution to your company.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Nicola Christianson
