CV (Curriculum Vitae) / Résumé
During the 1990s, I was Production Manager for an independent publishing firm in Hampshire. My attention to detail is second to none and I have lived by deadlines for most of my working life. I am highly proficient in Quark and Word with experience of Photoshop, Illustrator, In Design, Dreamweaver, Filemaker Pro and Acrobat. I am also used to working on multiple projects at the same time and have strong negotiation, interpersonal, management and organisational skills.
