Some of my responsibilities have included creating and maintaining procedures, engineering change notices, drawings, files, databases and logs, providing quotes and proposals, processing and expediting orders, researching and purchasing materials and assisting in ISO Audits. My computer skills include Word, Excel, Email, FileMaker, DocStar, Adobe Acrobat, Outlook, Syteline, Access, the Internet and a variety of Data Bases. I have worked closely with customers, suppliers, engineering, sales, quality assurance, purchasing, production, accounting and shipping in order to troubleshoot problems and resolve issues or just lend a helping hand. I have experience working in Manufacturing and Prototype environments, construction, as well as Distribution. All of my experience combined has honed my attention to detail and allowed me to utilize my strong written and verbal communication and interpersonal skills while giving me the ability to take on any project or task. Please refer to my attached resume for more details.
I am trust worthy, reliable and eager to help in any way I can. I have no restriction on the daytime hours I can work and am willing to work overtime and go the extra distance in order to obtain goals and meet deadlines. I am not intimidated by new challenges and am comfortable asking for guidance when need be. I am flexible and adapt well to change. I am quick at learning and retain the information I am taught. I am pleasantly outgoing with a good sense of humor and always behave in a professional manner. I have a positive attitude and a strong desire to build good relationships with my customers, peers and management.
