learned how to self-motivate, meet deadlines, work in a group, give direction as well as receive it and
how to overcome obstacles.
Additional Skills/Information

•
offering a source of knowledge to those under my supervision.
Office skills- Professional multi-line phone answering, Proficient in most MS systems (word, power
•
point, excel), conservation of resources, meeting deadlines, and sharing a work environment.
Time management skills- Running a business in my home created an environment where I was in
•
control of my own schedule. I had to create a work schedule that allowed for my personal schedule, the
schedule of my children’s activities and my husband’s schedule to all coexist.
Communication skills- ability to communicate in written or verbal context, using proper grammar and
•
a professional attitude.
Additionally I am a part of a Recreational Baseball League in my home town. I am on the board of
directors as a Tee Ball coordinator. This position is a volunteer position and allows me to give back to
my community while using many of the skills I learned in college and as an employee. I feel it is
important to be involved in something because of how it can help others, without regard to how it may
help you.

I believe that any company willing to take a chance on me would see a substantial return on their
investment. I am dedicated to my work, I am a fast learner with a “can do” spirit and I am willing to put
in the time and effort needed to succeed in anything I do. I have been a loyal employee, dedicated to my

to manage my time in a way that allows me to focus on all aspects in my life, without any of my
responsibilities suffering. Professional references can be provided.
