Wendy Weightman’s Summary

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

Experience is predominantly in a wide range of engineering industries such as chemical, industrial, manufacturing, geo-technical, geological and environmental engineering.

In addition, 5+ years experience as PA to both the Manager and the Editor of a newspaper publisher, including some typesetting and proofreading during the newspaper's transition to a computerised Editorial Department.

In 2003, as the result of a long held desire to work from home, Weightman Typing & Design was realised as a Virtual Assistant Secretarial and Transcription Service.

Since then my knowledge and skills have grown even more to include 6 years concurrent experience working with Financial Consultants and Advisors, Business and IT Consultants, a Medico-Legal Consultant, Allied Health / Social Workers and Counsellors, a Personal History publisher, University Researchers and Students, and a vast network of other Virtual Assistants.

Wendy Weightman’s Specialties:

Specialty skills include digital transcription, wordprocessing, formatting, editing, proofreading, spreadsheets, data entry, desktop publishing and 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.
