Kim Novak

I have worked in an office environment for over thirty years doing a variety of duties: switchboard, cashiering, customer service, data entry, billing, purchasing, accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, appointment scheduling, and assisting my managers and co-workers. I am a quick learner and self-starter and I work well in a group or independently. With my outgoing personality and variety of skills I am seeking a new, exciting and challenging position.

Authorized to work in the US for any employer.
