Poonam Karia

I am a people person. I am bubbly and like to help people. I am hard working and I go the extra mile when needed

When I was working at the Coventry University I maintained experience in using the Procurement 
financial system, I have to raise orders, arrange for invoices to be paid and monitor expenditure against 
designated budgets as required. My main responsibility was to help the Business manager and Head of 
Neighbourhood services with funding to external companies such as, Belgrade theatre and all Coventry 
community centres.
I have gained the following skills from my current/previous jobs
• Communicate confidently and effectively with senior managers and customers.
• Possess excellent organisational/time management skills, with the ability to prioritise and 
manage own workload.
• confident within myself, this allows me to develop & maintain successful relationships with my 
work colleague’s & customer’s
• Able to plan, research and analyse information for management purposes.
• coordinate/organise meetings, conference and consultation events and take minutes and 
follow-up actions
I have the ability to meet deadlines and complete work to a high standard under pressurised and difficult 
environments, this is due to my ability of being able to prioritise and organise my workload efficiently 
and effectively, using my time-management skills
