About Speedy Office Solutions

I have owned and operated The Most Office, a pack, ship and office solutions retail store, for eight years and prior to owning my own business, I supported and performed administrative work for attorneys, as well as for corporate and private firms for 30+ years. During that time I have been a secretary, executive secretary, sales assistant, customer service representative reporting to the Sales Managers, Partners, Sr. Partners, Vice Presidents, Presidents and owners. On many occasions I had to juggle several tasks at once and prioritize the workload according to importance and demand. For several years, I was also a tour guide in North Africa and Eastern Europe. Also, during a stay in Romania one summer I filled in as a Nanny.

As the owner of The Most Office, the retail environment was fast-paced and jobs had to be completed accurately and appropriately, sometimes with little or no advance warning.
