Multi tasked for 3 different district service managers. I was a relief switchboard operator as well.

First job out of high school. Started out with parts department and moved into the accounts payable/receivable within 60 days of hire. I was told I had a great smile and friendliness with the public. My honesty of the financial part of this job was rewarded and highly praised.

Support staff to area sales reps. and customers. Ordered music gear and supplies for both of these entities as well as working with the department that did the proposals for sound system upgrades. This job was not what I expected and left due to personal reasons.

Support staff to 4 area managers. Summarized reports of all service calls monthly to the District Manager. Continual contact with all accounts regarding their problems and need of water treatment chemicals. All communication was forwarded to the area managers. During needed expedited products I coordinated this with supplier and trucking company for the customer. Created and typed all correspondence to the customers for the area managers. Assisted in the office with other secretaries where needed. Created sales presentations/binders with area manager guidance. This was my dream job but the office was closed by the corporate office.

started in accounts payable and then accounts receivable. Advanced to Advertising Department. Then decided to gain more knowledge and went to Inventory Control. Many changes came to the company and I bid for a job in the Human Resources Department and was there for 2 years. I was then approached to work in the Marketing department as support staff to 23 area supervisors and worked at our Market in Indianapolis, Indiana. I left there for a better position with another company due to management changes. I was relief switchboard operator for the last 3 years of employment there.
