  Ocean Multimedia

  Mar 2000 - Jun 2001

  Artworker / Duplication Assistant

  Working as the second member of a duplication department, I worked with every aspect involved in running a duplication company - entailing an extensive array of skills as diverse as the mass manual production of 1 - 1000 videos and CD's, to designing artwork for CD labels, video labels and covers. I acquired many basic office skills during my time with this company, processing invoices, purchase orders and quotes as well as developing a professional telephone manner. I worked closely with my clients throughout the duplication process and I even learned how to basically repair a VCR. My most memorable achievement was designing and arranging artwork for production of 30,000 CD's. Show less
