Administration Manager
  • January 2015 to December 2017

During the period of managing the Procurement Department, I worked on a subordinate who was very
proactive & hard worker in work; this staff was trained enough by me, by the bank's management, and by
her own efforts, to be promoted to a higher level in position, and manage the Procurement Department with
being as reporting directly to the Head of General Services.
This was appreciated & credited a lot for me by the bank's management and actually reflected by a
financial & non- financial compensation. And better yet, I could find some extra time to develop &
upgrade the Administration duties by my own personal touch, and looking always for the unique & new
work style, at the same time I am still supporting when required in the Procurement field, and any other field
in the bank if applicable by my abilities and experience.
