Janet Britz
@janetbritz
Senior Administrative Assistant focused on scheduling, clerical support, and analytical problem-solving to improve efficiency.
What I'm looking for
I’m a hard worker and learn quickly, equally comfortable working on my own or with a team. I’m task driven, loyal, open-minded, and friendly, with a strong commitment to maintaining high levels of professionalism.
In my roles, I’ve delivered vital clerical support through scheduling, address calendar maintenance, event planning, and appointment coordination. I’m an exceptional written and verbal communicator, known for concise language and thoughtful conveyance of information between proper channels.
My experience includes analytical problem solving and improving operational efficiency—keeping files and records in content management systems, managing electronic records databases, and reducing errors through meticulous attention to detail in data entry. I’ve also coordinated onboarding experiences so new hires have the tools they need from day one.
Beyond administrative support, I’ve supported payroll operations (UIF/COIDA registrations and generating payslips with correct leave), handled client queries, and contributed to internal sales and cashier duties. I bring reliable organization to fast-paced environments where everything needs to run smoothly.
