Additional Information

I am currently looking for a job to relocate to the Phoenix/Mesa/Scottsdale area. For the last 35 years (yes, right out of High School), I have worked at my family's plastic blow molding company, started by my Grandfather. I have done almost everything in those 35 years of helping run this company; customer service and sales, as well as A/P, Payroll, inventory, and accounts receivable. I have ran production machines when we were short handed, led the quality control department, worked strategically with all customers and still do. I have been the Traffic Manager for all of the 35 years as well as purchasing and employee event planning. I've been the Sales Director for the last 4 years as well as manage our printing department for as long as I can remember. We have decided to sell the company so that my parents can fully retire and the rest of us can pursue other passions and dreams. We have buyers for the company so I will need to help with the transition, but do intend to move within the next 6 months; sooner if I find the right employment. Both of my adult children live in Mesa and I would like to be closer to them. Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have. Thank you for your time & consideration.
