*************@*****.***
Dependable, hard-working people person, with over 20 years of Customer Service. I have done everything from selling vacuum cleaners door to door, to Managing a Pizza Hut. The last few years I have mainly been a Welder, which reflects in my work experience. You don't see: Associate Mgr. at G&W Foods; Mgr. at Pizza Hut; furniture sales at Furniture Factory Outlet; Customer Service at a Call Center; and a few more. I'm 48 years old, and looking for a position that utilizes my brain and people skills. I own the equipment to work remotely if possible. I still have the passion to be the best at whatever it is that I'm doing. I feel that I would be an asset to your company.
