One Guy’s Journey.
Bow, WA: John E. Guy. Testimonials Please read what clients have to
say about Executive Secretarial services: I would like to make it known my
complete satisfaction and confidence in Jackie Burley
and Executive Secretarial. In an age where
dependability, competence, and service have all but
lost importance, Jackie personifies these qualities.
If I were to select the one human quality most
important in getting a job done, it would be caring.
Caring comes natural for Jackie. I wouldn’t hesitate
to recommend Executive Secretarial to any business or
individual. -Steven Wilms, Wilms Advertising, Sedro-Woolley, WA A note from Jackie: I put Steve Wilms first as a tribute to his being the first business client who requested my services when moving to Skagit Valley. Steve passed on recently, but I will never forget what he taught me about advertising. In this day and age of high tech
computers, laser printing, the Internet and email,
it’s so pleasant to find someone such as Jackie
Burley who is both professional in her craft and
personal in her attitude. Not only am I able to
dictate letters on the phone, but by the time I get to
her office to pick up my letters they have always been
professionally completed with tiny bits of personal
touches to enhance the message and make me look
better. As an entertainer for the past 20
years, I appreciate the diversity of Jackie’s
services, her ability to create eye-catching flyers
and promotional packets. Many thanks for your
assistance!
-Geno Roberts, Entertainer, Sedro-Woolley, WA I would like to take this
opportunity to thank you for your wonderful assistance
with my transcription. Your professional attention to
details and good sensibility have been invaluable
assets to me. Your ability to “sequence my dictated
thoughts” without changing the tenor of the
dictation has made it very easy for me to dictate my
SOAP notes, histories and exams. It is very reassuring
knowing that my paperwork always comes back from you
appropriately finished. Thank you so much for your
timely secretarial services, which truly make my life
run much smoother. If you ever need a reference,
please feel free to use this letter to document one
person’s satisfaction.
-Dr. Sharon Johnson, Mount Vernon, WA I have known Jackie Burley
professionally and socially since 1973. Jackie’s
organizational and word-processing skills, coupled
with her always prompt turn-around time, make her a
unique adjunct for any professional office demanding
high standards of excellency for their reports. Jackie
is not only desirably innovative, but also possesses
other important qualities of character – including
anonymity and confidentiality. Having had this
opportunity to work with Jackie for many years in my
appraisal practice, I can enthusiastically recommend
her to you without any reservation.
-Armin O. J. Baumann, Appraisal Service Co.,
Bellingham, WA I have appreciated working with
Jackie Burley these past six years. Jackie is a very
competent secretary with a talent for graphics and
form building. More than that, her sense of form and
organization is a skill that has had immense impact on
the way we have presented our material. We have been
more than just competent or adequate, we have looked
and been professional in the best sense of the word.
Jackie’s ability to deliver impossible amounts of
material in short time spans, under pressure, without
losing her professional demeanor, is commendable –
Where would I have been without that kind of support?
Jackie has few equals in the field of typing, word
processing and document and form formatting. I would
enthusiastically recommend her for any position her
background and skills qualify her.
-John K. Whitbeck, (former) Whatcom County
Community Corrections Coordinator, Bellingham,
WA We have relied heavily on the
excellent and prompt services of Executive Secretarial
for many years. Of particular note is Jackie’s
ability to work on short notice, meet all deadlines,
detect grammatical errors, provide editing assistance,
and generally get the job done with efficiency and a
smile. Our firm prepares draft
manuscripts ranging from planning reports to
architectural specifications. These include
handwritten original text by various staff and are
frequently taped together or cross-referenced by an
array of notes and symbols. It is a matter of frequent
amazement that Jackie is always able to produce a
perfect completed document. We highly recommend
Executive Secretarial to any prospective client!
