The Evening Business Assistant

Member Since: March 2004

Short Description:

Skillful Executive/Administrative Assistant with experience in the planning and support of daily operational and administrative functions. Proficient in MS Windows, Microsoft Office System and other software programs with the typing speed of 75 wpm.

Long Description:

The Evening Business Assistant is a home-based secretarial and administrative support service business. We provide a full range of secretarial services including flyers, newsletters, brochures and much more.

As our client, you will receive direct, personal attention in a relaxed manner unlike de-personalized storefront services.

BENEFITS OF USING THE EVENING BUSINESS ASSISTANT

The main advantage of using The Evening Business Assistant is that you only pay for the time required to complete your project. Perhaps you need just a few hours of secretarial work, or have a one-time project that will last a month or two. Rather than recruit, hire and train an employee of your own for projects of this kind, it is far simpler - and less expensive to use on an as-needed basis.

We are ready to help with you office overloads, to meet your occasional crises and to pick-up those loose ends when your people are out sick or on vacation.
