Austin Neaves’s Experience

Office Assistant
Lowe Construction & Managment
(Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Commercial Real Estate industry)
March 2007 — Present (2 years 10 months)
I love this job. The great part about being an office assistant for a small company is you get to do a little bit of everything. Not only do I get to expand my knowledge of computers (which I love doing) when I maintain and develop their company website, but have had the opportunity to express my creative side by developing marketing materials such as fliers, postcards, e-postcards, and other advertising related materials.
