Wendy Weightman’s Summary

30+ years experience starting as Telex Operator/Typist at an Oil Refinery, progressing to Senior Typist, and Personal Assistant / Executive Secretary over a broad range of industry sectors in New Zealand and Australia.

Experience includes engineering industries such as chemical, industrial, manufacturing, geo-technical, geological and environmental engineering.

I also spent 5+ years as PA to both the Manager and the Editor of a newspaper publisher, including some typesetting and proofreading during transition to a computerised Editorial Department.

In 2003 I realised my desire to work from home, starting Weightman Typing & Design, Secretarial and Transcription Services.

Over the last six years my transcription experience has grown to include Consultants and Advisors in the Financial, Business and IT, Medico-Legal, Allied Health and Social Work, Personal History, and Education industries.

I'm connected with a network of experienced VAs so I can always provide clients with the expertise and ability to meet varying deadlines.

Wendy Weightman’s Specialties:

Digital transcription, wordprocessing, formatting, editing, proofreading, spreadsheets, data entry, desktop publishing, internet research.

I produce transcripts or documents from dictated or voice recordings and typed or handwritten drafts. This includes reports, articles, manuscripts, conferences, seminars, podcasts, webinars, client meetings, interviews, tenders, quotations, specifications, contracts, theses, assignments, resumes and general correspondence.
