Looking for an administrative job in Norfolk, VA

Veteran

Karen Slaight Norfolk, VA

I am trying to find an administrative job in the Hampton roads area of Virginia. I did administrative work after I got out of the military and I would like to find a job doing that again since I love doing administrative work.

I did administrative assistant work, secretary. Yes, I am able to commute within the state of Virginia and depends on how far and what surrounding states I would be commuting to. I answered phones, filed, copied, faxed, organized files for the military when I was in. Once I got out, I did telemarketing, customer service, answered a multi-line phone, filed, typing construction proposals, handled petty cash. I did time sheets for a construction company. I ordered supplies for sites and told contractors where to go for a job. I made coffee.

For example, are there any particular roles/titles that you are currently applying to within the administrative field? Also, are you able to commute within the state of Virginia, or surrounding states?
