Gal Friday – (n) a woman who acts as a general assistant in a business office or to an executive and has a wide variety of duties

I didn’t start out to be an “all purpose” employee.  It just sort of happened.  In businesses where the staff shrinks and responsibilities grow, it was inevitable that I was learning a little of this and a little of that until I had a vast skill set built up.

Prior to Your Gal Friday of today, I was a regular, brick-and-mortar, cube farm, employee.  Then one day I got yet another “your job is gone” notice.  It was then I decided to try my hand at virtual work.  It allowed me to continue honing my skills while being able to assist people from around the world on a variety of tasks.

I have worked in the following industries:  Insurance (personal medical as well as medical malpractice), Automotive, Health Care, Pharmaceutical, as well as touching on a few others in manufacturing and retail. 

Please check out my profile on Guru.com for all the details.

Within those industries I did a variety of tasks which mostly focused on project management and documentation.  Of course, there were many other tasks involved - event planning, motivational presentations, testing...  it's fun to think of all the different aspects of business I've been able to "play" in.

And in 2011, I did something I never thought I'd do.  I expanded.  Rather than just be a One Gal Show, I decided it was time help more people (businesses and freelancers alike!).  It's an exciting future I'm growing.  We Gal Fridays all look forward to assisting you!
