What I'm looking for

I am looking for a fully remote, long-term opportunity in administration, customer support, sales, recruitment coordination or virtual assistance. I value a supportive team, professional growth and the opportunity to contribute my skills. I am flexible with working hours and open to working with international companies.

I am an experienced customer service, administration and sales professional with over 15 years of experience across retail, financial services and independent business.

I started my career at Markham's, where I worked as an Assistant Manager for five years. This role gave me valuable experience in retail operations, customer service, sales, staff support and daily administration.

I then spent ten years at Old Mutual as an Assistant to a Development Manager. I supported the recruitment and development of financial advisors by coordinating candidate assessments, communicating results, arranging interviews, attending interviews and taking minutes. I also assisted with the appointment and onboarding process, setting up new advisors on internal systems, showing them how to use those systems, scheduling training and arranging accommodation. Alongside these responsibilities, I handled general administration, reception and client communication.

Since 2022, I have been working independently from home in sales and client support, promoting Nu Skin products, building customer relationships, responding to enquiries and managing follow-ups. I also assist clients with SARS eFiling and tax-related administration, particularly during tax season. This has strengthened my ability to work independently, manage my time and handle confidential information responsibly.

My key strengths include communication, organisation, problem-solving, customer relationship management, sales support, recruitment coordination, onboarding and administration. I enjoy helping people, finding solutions and making sure tasks are followed through properly.

I am particularly interested in remote opportunities in administration, virtual assistance, customer support, recruitment coordination, HR administration, sales and client services. I am comfortable working independently, learning new systems and adapting to different working environments. I am also open to working with international teams and flexible across different time zones.

I am looking for an opportunity where I can contribute my experience, continue developing professionally and become a reliable, valuable member of a growing team.
