Colleen Van Rooyen

I am an experienced Executive Secretary seeking any full time virtual assistant opportunities.

I studied LLB law at the North-West University. I graduated in 2020 and secured employment as a Candidate Attorney in Knysna. Though I enjoyed working in Law, I could not make ends meet on a Candidate Attorney Salary. For the past two years, I've worked as the Executive Secretary to an Executive Mayor, Cllr Dave Swart.

In my bid to secure the position as an assistant, I would like to emphasize the following:

• My prior experience with the Court System, legal deadlines, and Local Government has ensured optimum time and people management skills.
• I do not doubt that I could fulfil the duties beyond expectations. My day-to-day duties in the Executive Mayor's office was demanding and gravely dependent on attention to detail -this has certainly prepared me for a demanding role .
• I have conducted numerous consultations with people from various backgrounds and emotional states. My experience in private law practice and local government enables me to balance professionalism, sympathy and optimal productivity.
• I am painfully self-aware, enabling me to identify and address weaknesses or lack of skills continuously.
• I have all the necessary tools, experience and discipline to thrive as a Remote Assistant.
• In short, I am driven, eager to learn, and exceptionally good at problem-solving, thinking on my feet and organizing.
