Successful Negotiation
Relocation –
Planning to relocate to the Pensacola, Florida area once new employment has been established
with a new employer. Relocation is my own expense.
I am a quick learn and embrace the need for a company to move forward with new changes.
“Failure” is and unacceptable word and should not be any part of a company’s vocabulary. One
should strive for “Excellence”, set goals, and continue to improve.
