Marleen Bartels
Management Assistant, Agoria
During my almost 30 years career at Agoria, I had the opportunity to do often several jobs. I started as a clerck at the secretary of Fabrimetal Brabant (now : Agoria Brabant) and kept me busy with the ordinary "classic" secretarial jobs such as answering the phone calls, keeping the agendas, ... (For the record : at that time there where no computers in the office). Soon I got more important tasks entrusted. I took care about all the secretarial tasks of the service "formation" (keeping presence-lists, making letters to answer questions about certain trainings, ..) At that moment started the first trainings on WordPerfect, Lotus and Storyboard. I had the opportunity to teach within Agoria (and in other companies) dose skills. After 2 years of teaching in WordPerfect and Lotus (now : Word and Excel), I went back to more "classical" secretarial tasks. I became Adj. Executive Secretary. In 1997 I adopted my 2 sons and I decided to work part-time. Untill the year 2001 I worked part-time on several bases (1/2, 3/5, 4/5). In the year 2001 I became Management Assistant of the Social Legal department of Agoria. I was responsible for a Secretary-pool of 5 persons. Need to change, after 10 years doing the same job, I accepted, in Septembre 2011, to take care of all the secretarial tasks that fall within the framework of the Agoria Academy Social Relations.
