Worked in the database department as a database (heavy data entry) coordinator. By Databases I mean client contact lists that come in to Outlook via email both text and Excel format. Clients are mortgage companies, funding - lending companies, banks and Real Estate professionals. In Touch Today handles the marketing of other companies so that they do not have to. Personalized and customized postcard and newsletter mailings for clients to help retain and bring in new business. These clients can choose from different postcard and newsletter formats for these mailings that take place once a month. Team work and coordination is required. This is a fast paced production environment. As a database coordinator I worked heavily with Outlook 2003 and Act Databases. Advanced Excel skills required.

I had to format spreadsheets, sorting names and addresses and moving around information in Excel until it fits company standard. I had to use formulas within Excel to combine names and addresses into proper format. This involves borrowers, co borrowers, addresses, record manager and either postcard and newsletter layouts or both that are used by production. I also exported and attached client databases as Excel format to email for clients to view. I had to facilitate changes, additions, deletions and updates to clients mailing lists on a daily basis.
