Since leaving Electronic Data Systems I took time out after working for 26 years.
I then temped at ESAMCINTOSH, an admin role, through Avenue Scotland recruitment agency.
Being very much interested in developing my HR career, I have written and developed training courses as this is where my particular interest lies. I completed a train the trainer course and have been attending seminars etc. These included an employment law masterclass, and an introduction to NLP.

I then set up a training company offering soft skills training to business and individuals.

See previous entry. I still worked in the same role for EDS. Moving latterly to the pensions division, dealing with pensions for retired army personnel. This involved working in the team responsible for checking correct entitlement to pensions, calculating and making payments. The role is demanding and responsible, with the need for accuracy, attention to detail and confidentiality.
I left because I was marrying and relocating.

Administrative assistant for the first month, then promoted to Administrative Officer.
I was part of a team dealing with the pay and allowances of all regular soldiers in the British army. The nature of the post is both responsible and dynamic. It demands accuracy, prioritising, confidentiality and working to deadlines while at the same time being quickly responsive to change. I dealt with specific army units, calculating and making sure pay and allowance were accurate and paid on time. The role involves dealing with all grades and ranks, both military and civilian, face to face, by telephone or in writing. There has to be effective communication, being clear and concise in instruction. Any mistakes, no matter how they occur, have to be corrected quickly and accurately. I was involved in staff training and mentoring, which I really enjoyed. Helping others reach their full potential gives me a great sense of achievement.
The job was privatised and I then worked for EDS.

Administrative Assistant. Customer Service orientated. Duties included filing, ordering stationery, updating account records, passing queries to administrative Officers. I then transferred to Ministry of Defence.
