Summary
Strong, lengthy business background that has served as the blue print for my personal goal achievements with past employers. I am self-motivated and have been recognized by past employers as a team motivator. My work history includes countless examples of obtaining sales numbers that were set extremely high, meeting delivery dates that were thought to be undoable, lowering employee turnover rate by recognizing poor work conditions and improving them which resulted in higher service quality while improving retention rate and initiating timely and accurate correspondence which afforded tax payers the time and information they needed to save thousands of dollars by making corrections to their business tax forms. I am a personable, alert, goal- oriented employee seeking opportunities where I can contribute to the growth and success of a company by utilizing my motivational, organizational, leadership, communication, problem-solving, human service skills along with a passionate and intense work ethic.
