Objectives

I am a hands on and hardworking manager with an excellent background in sales, customer service and

communications. I am looking to join a progressive organization in the sales, marketing, procurement or employee

development area in a management position.

Skills

Management/Supervision

As a manager and supervisor, through an open door policy, I strive to provide a safe and positive environment for

employees to succeed and grow. This is achieved through setting clear and concise goals, monitoring progress,

and acknowledging and rewarding their success. My greatest skill lies in resolving difficult and confrontational

issues with upset and/or dissatisfied customers and employees.

Employee Development Using a hands on interactive approach, I first learn as much as possible about a product or service in order to gain

trust and confidence from those I’m training. Utilizing a variety of training materials, I then use different techniques

such as role-playing, light-hearted impromptu quizzes, and friendly competition to achieve the desired level of

proficiency in the employee.
