Summary
Marketing has become an area of interest to me in today's world as we sell ourselves on the qualities of our
strongest attributes. Through my professional work life thus far, I have taken further steps in adding essential
skill sets and experience through my years in customer service/marketing-related areas, and my assistance to
those that are learning on-the-job. Through my recent college career, I have sharpened my strategic
management skills, oral and written communication skills, and enhanced my problem solving skills. With my
background in marketing and customer service, I am ready to fulfill my role with a company that is looking for
an experienced, fresh mind to bring a diverse view to their marketing department for customer relationship
management, public relations, and advertising.
In my technical skills, I have experience with the following: SAP, ARIBA (EDI), DataOnline (monitoring
system), Nalco's proprietary extranet, MS Office (specifically Word, Excel, and PowerPoint), average typing
50+ wpm, and other computer network experience.

"I've been working with Jody for almost two years now. Never have I had the tiniest issue with him and his
work. My job assisting Jody consists on fixing those store location deficits that he comes accross. Everytime I
receive a request from him and an issue comes through, he patiently waits till someone of the team is able to
resolve it. Whenever I have any doubt, he denotes confidence and a lot of knowledge in every
answer/resolution. During closing days, he assumes the responsibility of staying at office until every
objective is accomplished in the best way. For being polite, professional, empathetic, challenge accepting and
for his proactiveness and inner sense of drive, Jody is an excellent asset and a plus for any company he may
be willing to be part of."
