ADDITIONAL WORK EXPERIENCE
Desktop Publisher                                                                    Jan 2012 – Jan 2013
USTranslation Company                                                           Salt Lake City, UT

I worked with translated files to produce beautifully designed finished products that were delivered to our clients. I worked with InDesign, Framemaker, Illustrator, Word, and other layout programs to design layouts. I carefully checked every translated document to make sure that each was clear of errors, and worked with translators to repair any remaining mistakes. In my time at USTC, I successfully saved the company thousands of dollars by designing checklists that prevented future translation and quality assurance mistakes, creating an electronic system for files, and establishing a scheduling pattern for incoming projects.

Office Manager                                                                        Apr 2011 – Mar 2012
Smarty Streets, LLC                                                                  Provo, UT

I balanced the daily income budgets and paid the company bills. I was successful in reorganizing the company’s entire filing system, archiving everything on a digital system with easy search access. I also proofread and edited all blog, email, and website content before it was presented to customers.
