In the coming weeks (months?), I will be putting a significant portion of my time into my job search. When I joined this company, I hoped to leverage my current position into a more significant role. Unfortunately, the company is not growing at a rate that would make this likely at any point in the future.
So, I am currently UNDERemployed in a company with stagnant growth. In fact, I have little work to do during a typical day. I yearn for challenges that will allow me to showcase my management, analytical, and problem-solving abilities. I would love to stay in manufacturing, but I believe my talents work well in other industries and the challenge of proving my case would be most welcome.
My specific experience includes:
- Market Research, Analysis, & Communications for major electronics manufacturers in the Aerospace & Defense industry.
- Supply Chain Management, Materials Management, Inventory Analysis & Control, and Production Control for electronics manufacturers.
- Direct sales experience at the retail and consulting levels.
Please see my Resumes page for html and pdf versions of my resume. Any job leads would be appreciated.
