Hi there. My name is Helen Abrahams. 
I am a South African female whose native language is English. I have more than 15 years experience working for C Level executives.

I am organized - from setting up meetings, to confirming agendas.   From aligning with all stakeholders to looking after an inbox.   From replying to emails to making sure that the most pertinent information is transferred to the Executive.
 
I am a great communicator.   A lot of this job involves communicating with various stakeholders of all levels both internally and externally.   I have worked in international, multicultural environments and thus know the importance of being able to get a message across in a clear and concise manner.
 
I am flexible.  I am able to quickly adapt to situations as they arise such as making last minute travel arrangements, accommodating unforeseen changes, and switching gears as priorities change.  This also means that I am really good at keeping my cool under pressure.  When necessary, I am happy to travel or work outside of my normal house.
 
I am able to prioritize and stick to deadlines.   I ensure that my executive always has enough time to work through important documents and submit them to the board and/or other relevant parties ahead of time.
 
I am able to work independently.  That doesn’t mean that I won’t ask for help when I need it but I can go about finding out information on behalf of my executive as and when required.

I am comfortable responding to queries on behalf of an executive and can refer matters to other senior managers when necessary.
 
My most recent job was a Barloworld Equipment.  I was the Personal Assistant to the Business Services Executive.   Due to a companywide restructure, brought on by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the construction industry, my department was merged with another and unfortunately, I was made redundant.  
An opportunity came up to do some freelance remote work and this is how I have passed my time over the past 2 years.  
As things are returning to normalcy and freelance work is not coming through as often as I would like to, I have decided to look for a position that offers stability and is of a permanent.

I am open to discuss the role in more detail by way of a telephone or videoconference call and at your convenience.
 
I look forward to hearing from you.
 
Kind Regards
