My 1+ years work experience in a research company helped me to strongly build my research skills, as well as greatly enhance my typing & transcription skills. I was given strict deadlines to turn in well detailed and accurately typed research reports. I was also responsible for transcribing to Microsoft word, the weekly board/staff meetings that were held on Mondays; I had to hand in the meeting minutes at the end of the day and it took me approximately 2 hours to transcribe a 1 hour 20 minutes audio recording. Additionally, I have worked on business proposals, business reports, presentations, dissertations and financial statements.
