Job Title

Secretary

Job Description

Mireille works in the training department of her company. She does the layout and typing of the internal newsletter including news from all over the world. She also performs various tasks from different services such as reports, schedules, mail, notes and tables

Getting the job

After her secretary studies, she started as a typist transcribing documents read on a cassette. Constant training on new technologies allowed her to keep her job and expand her field of activity

Adjustments

New technologies such as Visiobraille gave Mireille a new autonomy.  She sometimes requires a colleague’s help for very visual presentations, and one person speaks texts to be typed on cassette for her, but mostly she can do the work on her own./span>
