GENERAL GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

The position I seek is in the mid to upper management level and will allow me to utilize my creative and organizational talents as well as my management skills and experiences. I work very well on my own and continually strive for self-improvement and knowledge enhancement both in academia as well as practical experience.

I am a well-organized individual and will see a project through from its' conception to completion. I have exceptional planning, organizational and coordination skills in addition to excellent verbal and written communication skills and to be sure, I have taken courses in organizational structure and system analysis. My decision-making and problem solving abilities are above average, which I am sure stems from a 23-year career I spent as a Paramedic.

Of the known management styles, I subscribe to the "Management by Objective" discipline and I am in possession of excellent supervisory and customer relations' skills. I enjoy the creativity in the design of promotional and presentational campaigns and I consider myself to be somewhat of a fast study in areas where I my lack knowledge.

I am intimately familiar with Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint as well as a number of graphic design and drawing programs and I am currently studying various CAD programs including AutoCAD and Turbo Cad.
