Job Hunting - I could use the help
« on: November 21, 2012, 11:16:58 AM »
I have been hunting for a job for a little while with not much success.  If you or someone you know is hiring I would be greatfull if you could let me know or they could contact me directly at
403-681-2040
or
[email protected]

Here is a little about my work history:

-   Possess 20 years of experience in sales and customer service environments.
-   Proven track record of effectively managing/leading people and handling a range of day to day operational responsibilities.  This included administrative functions such as handling large revenue related transactions.
-   Experience in purchasing, merchandising, staffing and training.
-   Proficient at problem solving and handling difficult business/people situations well.
-   Work well under pressure, meeting tight deadlines without supervision.
-   Knowledgeable working with Microsoft Office and a quick study at learning all aspects of new computer programs.
-   Work well within a group or independently.

I've most recently been the Service Manager for NuWay Floor Fashions and previous to that I was Corporate Service Manager for Gienow Windows and Doors

Thanks again,

Dwayne Dickson

What is MRO?

Many people have heard or are familiar with the term "MRO." While they might accurately associate the term with the work of mechanics in an industrial environment, many of the same individuals would be hard-pressed to provide a specific explanation and meaning of the term.

Simply put:

"M" stands for Maintenance. In an industrial context, the maintenance frequently involves some type of capital equipment or machinery.

"R" stands for Repair. By inference, the repair would normally involve some type of capital equipment or machinery.

"O" stands for Operations. Operations normally refers to the operating inventory, including the inventory used to maintain equipment as well as miscellaneous supplies such as office and cleaning supplies. It can also include such things as travel services or computers that are needed to run a business but not central to the business's output. In some quarters, the "O" has taken on the meaning of overhaul (of equipment and machinery), which follows closely the definitions of the "M" and "R."

If you've got the interpersonal skills and work ethic required to be truly successful in outside sales, you will not be unemployed again. If you can handle the sort of work that Jennsen is talking about, you will be able to write your own ticket (within reason) for the rest of your working life.
I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(
