Objective
As you can see in the work experience section below, I have 18 years in the
telecommunications industry. Though it is 18 years in 1 field I feel I have learned many skills
that are useful in many areas and types of work. As I am looking to re-enter the work force, I
am looking to start at what ever necessary, in whatever field necessary. To be a team player,
to learn and grow with the company I am working for whether it is through
communications/public relations skills or my hands on abilities to learn and succeed at
whatever task is in front of me.
Abilities
I am a quick learner and adaptable to changes in work environment and technology. I take
pride in my work and typically go above and beyond both employer and customer
expectations to ensure a quality job. If I am in need of a solution to a question or problem, I
will ask if I feel there is someone I can ask that is knowledgeable about the issue, if not I am
willing to do my own research to find the best resolution possible. I am a clean worker and
always do my best to keep areas clean as I go and in the end make sure that all areas are as
clean or cleaner than it initially was when I began.

Upon hire with Universal Voice Data in 1996 my position was cabling installer. We pulled

ST/SC/LC Crimp on connectors. I have also spliced standard grade outside plant telephone

Panasonic just to name a few others. Network equipment ranging from Belkin and Netgear to
Cisco. Wireless AP's, switches, routers and firewalls. In January 2010 I was promoted to
Service Manager. In this position I priced, scheduled, dispatched and invoiced jobs related to
