Happy Retirement to someone who gave me a chance.

Laughing all the Way to Work

I temped here and there for a year. Finally, I got a job interview through the temp agency for a one-year contract. I interviewed first with the HR manager and did well. I finally got a phone call to say they wanted to hire me and could I start in a few weeks? It was long hours and no thanks.

NOT, “Just An Admin!”

Office Dynamics

It began several years ago when I started working for Mr. H as a temp. Later I was recruited by Mr. W – he made it clear that my first priority was to create a highly functioning admin team and to assist him with his management team.

Day in the life: Catherine Thomas, EA, Public Health Wales

Practically Perfect PA

In London, I met my husband-to-be (now ex) and I ended up retiring and moving to the Caribbean for 5 years. I worked and temped at various places in general administrator/secretarial roles until I found a job where I really felt I could make a difference. I got married, moved countries (with a cat) and had a baby in 9 months!
