WEAKNESSES

Approval acceptance: "No" has never been in a word in my vocabulary. I

have always been a "people pleaser". I thrive off of helping and not

disappointing others which can cause me to spread myself too thin at times.

Prioritizing tasks: I believe that everything has a purpose and deserves

110%. Unfortunately the rest of society does not agree. I always try to

do my best at everything that I partake in. This causes too many "focal"

points and not enough hours in the day!

Nonchalant: I have always been a relaxed person. I believe that one is

able to perform their best in "any given" situation if they remain calm.

Some people regard that as a lack of drive because I don't display

emotions. I see it as being prepared to give my very best

Overanalytical: My belief that everything has a meaningful purpose in life

can sometimes produce infinite answers and possibilities. I don't take

things at face value. I believe in multiple solutions!

STRENGTHS

Admitting Weaknesses: My number #1 strength is my admission that I have

weaknesses. I feel that great moments will come out of weakness and

shortcomings. It develops good character and creates learning experiences.

Inherent ability to be successful: I believe that success is what you

esteem others to be through motivation, guidance, assistance, and giving

more than you will receive, in other words teamwork. Falling down is

not failure; not getting up is!

Knowledge abosorption: I make sure that I learn one new positive thing

everyday. This enables me to be a great asset in any given situation.

Smiling: I always smile because it is a universal language and will make a

difference in the world.

requirements to produce quality products and services at best cost.

professional growth.

< LEADERSHIP

working relationships.

I would like to be seriously considered for the dynamic employment

opportunity you have available. I possess several years of mass

merchandising experience (i.e. retail resets, store calls, etc.) A

dependable merchandiser should be responsible for educating and training

store personnel and customers.

I believe key responsibilities include carrying out vendors merchandising

objectives, developing good working relationships with store personnel,

maintaining a monthly planner and weekly reports.

I possess excellent interpersonal and presentation skills, as well as

strong time management skills. I have the ability to take ownership of

accounts and work independently. Good communication, organizational skills

and the ability to work independently are essential skills required to

perform this job successfully.

Sincerely,

M. Todd McClain
