PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
I am quick to learn and eager. It’s important for me to go above and beyond. I pay attention to detail, get along very well with other people but yet can work alone too. SKILLS
For the last 10 years I have worked in an office position. 5 of those years I served as a manger of a division. I oversaw manufacturing of birdseed, bought commodities, dealt with vendors and customers, entered information into the system we worked on. I did my own accounting, hiring,and over saw multiple employees. I placed purchase orders, searched for new vendors with new product, met with new vendors, chose what items in a particular line to bring into the warehouse and which items to not bring in. I participated in a yearly trade show, from setting up a booth to working it and taking care of necessary tasks after. I have computer skills, Microsoft word, office and excel. I used these programs to determine pricing for customers and to issue price lists. WORK EXPERIENCE
