Current Work:
I am a supervisor in the Office Experience Department. By guiding and stimulating participants (older than 17, from various cultures, men and women) on the shop floor we teach them office skills in order to lead them towards work or education. We work in a team. Peculiarities of participants are also being reported to the guide who will offer appropriate aid or will refer people to other care organisations.
Past Work:
Before I became a supervisor I was an office experience assistant at the Triton Foundation and supported the supervisor. Before that, I was a school assistant for 2 years. I had various supportive tasks: helping out in classes, specifically in classes with pupils in the first stage of secondary education; giving pupils extra lessons; and providing coffee or tea.
Education and Professional Training:
Management assistant, coaching skills (guide on the shop floor), full diploma ECDL (European Computer Driving Licence).
Professional areas of interest:
I like working with people, especially with people in need of help. You can clearly see that in the work I do. It can vary from listening to people to teaching them professional skills. But I also make arrangements for people, young or old, regardless of culture (people from different cultures should be approached differently, which I think is challenging)
Areas of Expertise:
I have patience, I like to do things right and I like to please everyone. I am spontaneous, punctual and a perfectionist (but good qualities can also be pitfalls).
