Education:
SYNOPSIS:
In
college I was president of Inter-Residence Hall Presidents Council, president of
my dormitory and graduated with honors.
Since then, I developed and implemented training and quality improvement
programs for government and private enterprise. Using a management by objectives model,
I wrote business plans and achieved personal and organizational, sales and
marketing goals and objectives. I
assisted clients in CAD/CAM system implementation and advised them in hardware
and software purchases, installation and support. As a business manager and owner, I met
deadlines and expectations of a wide range of clients and maintained good
working relationships with customers, employees and professional
associations. I am a results
oriented team player, experienced and competent who knows what must be done and
is willing and capable of doing it.
To Whom It May
Concern:
I am displaying my resume for your consideration. If your organization needs a committed
vision and drive that is reflected in your signage program, I would like to
arrange a personal interview to explore the possibilities. I am available for Signage Consultation
and am a motivated, knowledgeable and creative team player. I
bring with me credibility.
Unlike Microsoft I will not ask you where you want to go...
I will take you there!
Please get in touch with me for all of
your signage consulting needs.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
