My strengths lie in the Training/Teaching, presentation, project managemnt, infrastruture and creating solutions. I've recently certified as PRINCE2-Practitioner. I am quite satisfied when I can serve people in putting technology to use as a “problemsolver”. I am very comfortable with both Macintosh and Windows technology, but I am not afraid to use other systems when the need develops.(Successfully trained as SUN administrator for example.) English is my mother-tongue, my german is fluent in spoken and written word, and I have a basic command of spoken french. I’ve been primarily employed in the Advertising, New Media and Software and publishing branches, and my most recent position was with DoubleClick, a division of Google. prior to that I worked for a System integrator in Germany, where Web Master, email based marketing, Sales support, Training, End User software documentation and troubleshooting belong to my list of responsibilities. Some of my skills include: Needs assessment for conception of Computer Training programs Development, and Delivery of Computer Training Assesment of the results of Computer Training Programs Hardware, Software and purchase (Desktop- Macs, PC, Server) Conception, creation and implementation of Mulitmedia Presentationen Designing and implementing Websites A detailed list is available in the „Skills“ section. My idea of the ideal job- having responsibility for implementing useful technology that has a positive impact on the “bottom line” and training people to use that technology to increase efficiency as well as fun and motivation in the workplace. Given my international / digital experience, and contacts, I can also imagine a virtual home office position. This opens up possibilites for a satellite office or a solid yet inexpensive way for a company to get started in the UK market.
