My previous job was in the construction1 area, but unfortunately I had to leave on October 15th 2014 to look after my father who started to suffer from severe bad health due to arthritis and passed away on March 15th 2015 of pneumonia.  Unfortunately, my former employer, Eddie Green, is no longer in business as he had unfortunately died from a car accident on August 12th 2015, but I know his widow very well, Jeanette Green (First Reference) who will confirm my suitability on his behalf.

I now want to come back to office, for good, this time offering my up-dated skills. I feel I have the necessary skills, qualifications and experience and would therefore appreciate your consideration.

I do have previous office experience within the Secretarial area, which I have linked some examples of, i.e. City Hall, which was a three months maternity cover assignment and two other on-going assignments within Page One and also Lewisham College (Second Reference(s) that I feel will serve a beneficiallity in many ways.

As regarding The Home Office within Page One, I was told not to take any of the work out of the building at any such time, as the information was confidential, but have up-loaded two Access 2003 designs that I set-up for my position.

I am looking to work within either a private company or the corporate sector within the E14 area, preferably Canary Wharf.

I do hope my details will be of interest and look forward to hearing from you in due course.

Yours faithfully

 

 

A W Stretton

P.S. As regarding any date gaps and what I have previously mentioned about my father, I would have been either looking, preparing for work or doing something that would contribute towards it or taking a holiday break.


1 Whilst working full-time and sometimes part-time I had also carried out some courses as an interest and to keep my PC skills up-to-date.

CITY & GUILDS E-QUALS IT STAGE III DIPLOMA

OXFORD CAMBRIDGE & RSA TEXT PROCESSING STAGE III

Unfortunately, the next City & Guilds E-Quals Stage III Course did not last as it could not receive funding due to the fact that not enough previous attendees came back and it was announced that not enough people were applying for it even though it was being advertised as well.

I have, however, LINKED some marked work and some un-marked work should the course continue as I feel that I could have completed the Advanced Stage as well.
