CV – LEILA - LOOKING FOR A PERSONAL ASSISTANT JOB
To organize, coordinate, plan, create efficiency, and possibilities, for everybody involved, every day, is when I thrive.
WORKEXPERIENCE
In the end of 2023, I just stopped my work as a project controller at a consulting company within construction, technology, and infrastructure. I have had the same employer since 2007.
My main responsibility has been monthly invoicing of our consulting hours. I monitored project accounts, and I handle some supplier’s invoices. I have had regulary contact with my managers, co-workers, and customers, through email and phone, or in the office.
Before the company reorganized in the fall of 2021, I sometimes coordinate travelling for our department, and different events, together with an external organizer, or with other departments within the company. I also designed, and sent out, two newsletters every month, created in, and through, e-marketeer. I did this for my department manager, as well as for our business area manager of Sweden.
I have had a broad role in my support function, and I am used to work in different computer systems.
In the late 90's, I lived in the US for a total of five years, in New York, and Los Angeles.
I worked as a nanny, and as an assistant to families with large households, with various tasks as to drive the children to activities, maintain the cars, moving logistics, household, and other errends, and also some cooking. Later I worked as a salesperson, and in the restaurant and catering business, with various duties. I also studied at collage in Los Angeles for one semester. I am born and raised in Sweden. Here in Sweden, I have worked as a personal assistant to a physically handicapped young woman, as a clothing store salesperson, as event staff and waitress, as a receptionist, and a finance administrator and project accountant.
