Paula Hawk’s Summary

The one thing that truly sets me apart from others in my field is my genuine enjoyment of helping others, regardless of the size of the task.

Strong history in organizing common tasks into simple procedures that save time and energy. Able to think outside the box to see new and innovative ways to improve productivity. Ability to work quickly and efficiently without sacrificing accuracy, and providing analysis from varying viewpoints.

I have recently become intrigued by social media and social networking. I have begun blogging and I am looking forward to starting a new blog with several contributing bloggers.

Paula Hawk’s Specialties:

Internet research is one of my greatest abilities. With the explosion of the internet, what you know is not nearly as important as what you are able to find information on. The ability to think quickly and problem solve are imperative in working for a small growing company where your answers can decide whether your company gets the next big project or not.

Business/Office Manager for a small growing company. I handle the small items such as typing general correspondence and creating and mailing invoices as well as larger items such as ensuring that our insurance is up to date and coverage is sufficient and reviewing tax forms before they are submitted to various agencies to ensure accuracy. I created the employee handbook and keep it updated. I have implemented policies and procedures for employee reimbursements. I moved the company's financial records from several spreadsheets into QuickBooks. I am currently setting up and preparing to administer a Dependent Care Contribution plan as a benefit for our employees.
