(1)Communications Skills- As a member of Toastmasters International and specifically Metropolitan Toastmaster Club #1696, and having taken multiple courses in communications I feel that I have developed well above average oral, written, and interpersonal communication skills. (2) Analytical Skills- Having taken many courses thus far in my pursuit of a degree in Business Administration I have researched, analyzed, and interpreted a large amount of information and data. That coupled with my previous eight years of on the job experience as an electrician coordinating job tasks with other trades and installing electrical apparatus has significantly increased both my mechanical and analytical abilities. (3)Computer & Technical Literacy- I have previously taken a class on all of Microsoft Office's programs from MS Word to MS Access. Microsoft Excel is a program that I use on a daily basis and I am very familiar with it in particular. (4) Adaptability and Multitasking- As an electrician my job functions, duties, roles, and responsibilities would change on a daily and sometimes hourly basis. On many occasions I would be required to go to another jobsite, switch functions in the middle of performing a task, troubleshoot an electrical problem, and work on multiple tasks at the same time. Adaptability and multitasking is required of electricians and is one of my greatest skills I have to offer.

Project Estimator @ From July 2015 to Present (6 months) Master Electrician @ From 2005 to Present (10 years) Dispatch/Assistant Project Manager @ From June 2014 to June 2015 (1 year 1 month) Class A Journeyman/Master Electrician @ As an electrician I performed all duties necessary to install premises wiring on construction sites. I worked primarily on new multimillion dollar commercial construction sites most recently being: Nanotechnology Building at the University of Minnesota, Humphrey Terminal Expansion at the MSP Airport, and Target Field for the Minnesota Twins in downtown Minneapolis. In many instances I would interpret the design, layout, and install the electrical apparatus necessary to meet customer expectations, coordinate the installation process with other trades to minimize or eliminate bottlenecks, rework, and reduce setup times. Also, I would work off of ladders or in trenches in indoor and outdoor locations, bending conduit, pulling wire, splicing wire, making terminations in panelboards, switchboards, switchgear, and bus duct. I have worked on voltages ranging from 12V to 13,800V. From July 2005 to September 2013 (8 years 3 months) Sales Associate @ Northern Tool has a unique sales approach. Their objective isn't to strictly maximize sales, but to fit the customer with the appropriate product. This not only (1) helps prevent cognitive dissonance but (2) increases customer satisfaction and loyalty, which in turn generates greater revenue and profitability. As a Sales Associate at Northern Tool my main responsibility was to assist customers in finding their "fit" product. Although, as time went by working there I was cross-trained so I could perform other operational tasks such as: cashiering, shipping and receiving, forklift operations, and closing out registers.
