Lynn Hoffman’s Summary
I am a freelance work-at-home multi-tasker. I am available for part-time and project work. My services include Proofreading, Web Design, Ad Design, Data Processing, Photography, and other Administrative Asst. work that can be from home.
When I was working outside the home, I held the position of Administrative Assistant for most of my working career. During and since that time, I've done a lot of on-the-job and freelance work in the fields of photography, ad design, web design, proofreading, and illustration.
I am proficient in Publisher, MS Word, and FrontPage, and have a good working knowledge of Photoshop Elements, PowerPoint, and Excel, among others. My strengths include photo editing, graphic design, problem solving, editorial proofing, and multi-tasking.
I am currently looking for part-time work to which I can apply my relevant work experience and knowledge; to be part of a team and play a part in that company’s growth by applying my acquired office and computer skills.
