There is nothing I cannot do or learn to do.
I am not being boastful or exaggerating. I am telling you what I have heard people say
about me many times over the course of my professional career. Now I could write out a boring list of all my
accomplishments and skills and places I have worked in my lifetime, but you can
easily read about those things in my profile.
I am going to take this opportunity to give you the exciting stuff, the
real me.
It is important that I tell you all of the things I have
done that are NOT in my profile. I have
worked in a toy store, a children’s clothing store, a junior’s clothing store, a
fast food restaurant, a grocery store, the supply department of a large hospital,
and the public library. I have worked as
a bank teller, legal receptionist, legal assistant, dance teacher, customer
consultant at Xerox, babysitter (as a teenager), daycare provider (as an
adult), legal document and trial transcript summarizer, medical
transcriptionist, chemical dependency counselor, first grade teacher associate,
on-site property manager (x2), landlord, general construction contractor,
income/payroll tax professional, contract and proposal writer, paper craft
artist and educator, drywall hanger and painter.
There are several ways to look at this list, but I am going
to address the two that I feel are most important. First, your initial thought may be that I
can’t stick to anything. If that is your
opinion, I understand and I certainly don’t fault you if you want to stop
reading right here. The other way to
approach this list is to think about what all of my experiences say about me as
a person and as a professional. Also,
please keep in mind that I have never, ever been fired or let go from a
job. The following is a bullet-point
summary (I LOVE bullet points) of the information I learned about myself when
examining the list, and what I think you should take away from it.

A little summary of me. Please
contact me anytime to talk about how I might be a good fit for your
organization. I have one caveat. While I do find the topic of insurance
fascinating and enjoy researching, analyzing and writing about it, I do not
want to sell it. Aside from that, I
would love to connect with you on just about anything.
P.S. Facilitate,
staff, data, content, strategic, program, implement, achieve, instruct,
lead. Okay, now I have also optimized my
summary by making it key-word rich. I am
creative, but also practical.
