Manager Sales Representative

PURPOSE

I am looking for a new career where I can utilize my years of experience, moral values, work ethic and problem-solving skills. Educated, skilled, responsible, self-motivated, efficient and productive are just some of the qualities that I will contribute. Regardless of my past job titles, I am looking for a position that my overall attributes can be molded into.

I pride myself in giving my employer more than what is initially presented and an investment that builds into those around me. A well-rounded person of quality can be very hard to find. I am confident that I will be an attribute not only to your team, but to your business as a whole. I am seeking a position that isn’t just a job, but a career. I want to be part of a group that prides itself in its members and is always focusing on the advancement of all those who are involved.
