Devin Falk Resume

To the Hiring Manager:

Thank you for taking the time to receive and read my introduction. I value forthrightness, integrity and discipline; values that serve well to a greater purpose. I wish to bring these to your organization. I always seek to use my talent for analysis and understanding to council those around me to growth and success. Even when the truth of a matter is difficult to hear because it is even more difficult to do. Though, if I see a need, and it is difficult, I will be the first to step forth to carry the burden I have brought to light, and I will be the first to arrive, and the last to leave in their pursuit. I do not quit until others see the benefit in an endeavor, and take responsibility for its completion. In my last full time job, I entered into a position with little to no structure. It was an arts organization, so my colleagues valued ambiguity of purpose and even ambiguity of schedule. This made it very difficult to fulfill the purpose of the company. I went ahead and made a weekly schedule, but each employee was able to decline specific shifts. Initially, they resisted the structure, but eventually they realized that this actually gave them more control of their schedules because they could work together to maintain their personal lives while streamlining their work lives. Work did not get in the way of things they valued with family and friends, but they also got more work done, eliminating stress. Once the system was implemented, they acquired the sense of being a coalition that served each other, and they had confidence that their work would be done, and their lives would be respected because their colleagues would fill their rolls when necessary. Once the plan was fully implemented and successful, the organization's leadership took responsibility for the structure, and I was able to move onto other inefficiencies in the company. The "C Suite" oversaw a more efficient workforce, while the employees trusted me to manage situations that served their interests. In my next venture, I plan on using my aptitude for trendsetting subtly to implement good values by exemplifying them without interfering with the current culture's valuable assets. Generally, I am able to accomplish this purpose without stepping on toes, but I am always willing to be corrected if I miss my own blindspots, and ultimately authority is authority. I look forward to discussing how I can add value to your workforce and serve your purposes.

Thank you again,

Devin James Falk
