- Responding to customer service phone calls and emails: We get quite a few phone calls and emails every day. You will need to respond to each of these with basic information we’ll provide to you. So you need to be comfortable with the phone, using email and be a good typist.
- Filing: Basic stuff to keep up with the paper flow.
- Web site management: Ideally, you’ll have some technology skills and can do some basic updates to my web sites. You do NOT need to know HTML, but if you do, that’s a plus. Also, if you’re familiar with FrontPage and are generally comfortable with internet technology, that’s definitely a plus.
