Paulette J. Stokes

I would love to return to the Entertainment Biz where I would be working in film production or as a Personal Assistant where my creative business/personal skills could be utilized. Since grade school, I have always loved watching movies and wanted to know how they were produced. Special Effects is an area that fascinates me. I think that's why I love Sci-Fi so much. If I had to redo my career, I would have majored in film. I did have the experience to work in the wardrobe department for a Sci-Fi movie that John Voit directed. It was a constant work process of taking continuity shots, aging and making sure the garments were ready for each scene, and keeping garments organized for each actor. Even though my tasks didn't involve designing garments for the movie, I enjoyed the interaction with the set design crew and actors while preparing the garments for upcoming scenes.

Working for Warner Bros in their film department or a Special Effects company would wonderful for me. Fortunately, I am a very skilled Office Assistant who is computer literate, a "Self-Starter," and possess the ability to maneuver in an office in order to get daily tasks organized and completed in whatever type of business environment I have experienced such as "Entertainment" or "Medical". I would be a great assistance to whatever job position I acquire.

My personal work profile involves working several years as an Executive Secretary and an Administrative Assistant for Universal Studios/MCA Records, Actor's Assistant, "Clerical Temping," and possessing an extensive management background in the "Fashion Industry". The work experience that I have achieved has enabled me to develop great organizational-prioritizing skills, personnel management abilities, complete assigned projects per scheduled work itineraries, research proficiency, secretarial-staff support adeptness, ability to learn and adapt quickly to constant office procedural changes, multi-tasking aptitude, and project-follow up capabilities.

As the Personal Assistant to ABC's "General Hospital" Soap Opera Actor, Ron Hale, I developed a pamphlet-type "Character Biography" with pictures for his role as "Mike Corbin". This pamphlet was updated for his fans and distributed during "The General Hospital Conventions" each year. Also, while working for Voice-Over Actors, Al Chalk (Movie Trailer Voice-Over for "Scary Movie" 1 thru 4 and DreamWorks' 2005 animation release, "Madagascar") and Mart Stewart (Theater Voice-Over), I created special "Bio" sheets displaying graphics of their various Voice-Over projects featured within their CD Publicity packages, assisted with Web Design (alchalk.com), daily Voice-Over session scheduling, as well as taking care of client luncheons/personal errands/dinner parties.

In addition to my professional-office accomplishments, I possess artistic and musical talents that have contributed to my ability to execute specific details and creative formatting when organizing data for Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, or Word Documents.

Personal Background:Born in Aurora, Ilinois, "Wayne's World" on February 15 - a true bohemian Aquarian!

Family: Oldest of two brothers. Oldest brother is a RN Tech and my youngest brother is a Dietician Chef. Parents are retired and reside in Las Vegas - it's a great trip since I know I can stay with my parents no matter what's happening in the city. My Father owned a construction company and my Mother was a Nurse.

Marital Status: Single without children - the ups and downs of my creative lifestyle couldn't afford a traditional family. I only wanted a cool partner to share my life with - the good and bad of it.
