Gretchen Schmitt’s Summary

Professional, detail-oriented Administrative Assistant in the wireless industry. I am new to the role, but not the support field. This year I achieved a 2/1/09 relocation from Maine to North Carolina. Previously I enjoyed being a passionate Source Recruiter under the skilled eye of Jessica Fairclough for the same company - US Cellular. I enjoy seeing results, and being effective at helping people.

When I knew I'd permanently be near school, I transfered to the Portland office and supported an HR team for a year and a half on a part-time basis. After transfering for full-time hours to Brunswick, Maine, I chose to end employment to focus on my education, as it was at that time I realized its importance.
