Objective
My name is Simone Saunders. I am seeking employment with a company that allows me to utilize my interpersonal and technical skills, while, also challenging me to learn and develop new ones. My most recent employer was National Publishers Services LLC (formally known as Circulation Specialists Inc) as fulfillment coordinator in the publishing industry. I gained professional business experience and it broadened my view of what I previously had considered for careers. I am a quick learner and function well in fast paced environments so although I had no office or publishing experience I did well. I am detail oriented with a working knowledge of the Microsoft Office Suite. I am also familiar with running reports on various databases so I am confident that I would quickly adapt to any new system. Also by the end of my employment I was doing the invoicing for publishers such as Today Media which they alone had nine titles. I wasn’t really interested in the actual publishing portion but the data analysis and getting the opportunity to dive deeper into Microsoft Excel, working with pivot tables and vlook ups, was an experience I thoroughly enjoyed.

Skills & Abilities
TIME MANAGEMENT
In my previous position everything ran on a tight schedule due to deployment dates of the publications. I assisted with and eventually began constructing production schedules that dictated not only matters involving production of the magazine but also when the customer invoices and renewal forms were being sent out.
MARKETING/SALES
I have three years’ experience in sales and marketing. While employed for a marketing company (Crossmark) as an event specialist showcasing products and gathering data from potential customers and reporting to my supervisor.
COMMUNICATION
Having worked in sales and customer service I am very comfortable speaking to groups and individuals and can express myself in a clear articulate fashion. A big part of communication is also listening in my opinion. I found that actively listening and engaging with clients makes the encounter run smoother and makes it more enjoyable for all parties.
LEADERSHIP
I haven’t held the title of a leadership position however I am team oriented. A solid team that can work together fluidly is a key component to the success of a business in any industry. On several occasions I have had to create plans and directives to bring teams together and being that I feel open communication aids in innovation and creativity initiated meetings to discuss not only issues but brainstorming sessions.
