Summary
I’m currently looking for a position that I will be able to move up in and eventually retire from. I’m 45 and I’m not getting any younger. My previous jobs that I put the most time in with where jobs that I moved around a lot and sometimes had to work 7 days a week. I don’t have an issue with working and working overtime too but 7 days a week and 2 hours from my kids is a strain on me and my family. I get along with everyone and with age comes wisdom. I know how to do so much now from hang drywall to delete the cookies and defrag a desktop. I’ve worked construction and I’ve worked in offices. I’ve worked in greenhouses and I’ve used spikes on boots to climb telephone poles troubleshooting a customers internet service or pots line. I’m not the type to act like I know it all because I don’t but I’ve been around the block a few times and if I don’t know it I’ll learn it fast and figure how to do it more efficiently and more effectively.

Goals
I am looking for a position that would allow me to utilize the skills I have acquired and the knowledge I have gained while working as Premises Technician/Wire Technician at AT&T the past 4 years. Working with customers and being front line to represent my company and repair or install a better product and service with professionalism and showing concern in the wants and needs of the customers. I gained the ability to gain customers trust when I worked as a route sales Representative (RSR) for 13 years by being myself and honest with the service and product I'm able to provide.
While I enjoyed and valued my job as an RSR because of the direct contact it allowed me with the customer, I have the desire to advance the business and customer experience from a position of management within the company. I am seeking a job that would give me the opportunity for advancement while at the same time growing the company's business. My experience in sales and customer service would be a valuable asset to any company that hires me. Thank you in advance for taking the time to consider my application for employment with your company.
