Maintained rigorous qualit y standards of both product and mobile fish market facility. Delivered products with high reliability and maximum courtesy extended to clients. Extensive public contact.

0(Left for medical reasons, since resolved.) In all four of the above businesses I have also been largely responsible for ongoing store merchandising, as products, seasons, and marketing priorities change d continually. I have a knack for setting things up just right. (It is unfortunately worth noting that all three of the above specialty business es closed at some point following my departure. I am not inferring exact cause a nd effect, but more the value and scarcity of experienced professionals in any e ndeavor.) Changes in this category have led to my desire to be involved in a new field. I am ready, willing, and able to undergo thorough training in order to master new arenas, but my apeople person a gifts will be immediately apparent and beneficia l to bonding clients to your business for the long term. An investment in me wil l prove to have been a great move for all parties. Few personal details emerge from online application processes. I will make mysel f available for interview as soon as you desire. References available on request. Education 1. The Collegiate School for Boys, NYC, K-12.
