My Car

Good bye car. I miss you. Please know that you were worth much more than the $4,677.50 State Farm said you were worth.

NEW SKILLS!?

I am going to be graduating in December, so I decided to tweak up the ol' resume and see what's out there. I ventured onto Monster, and they have really added some great tools. Under "Work Experience" in their profile builder, they have a section for skills. Just begin typing something, and a list of possible skills pops up.

It wasn't until I did this I actually realized all the things I do at my current place of employment.

They are:

Access database design and development - seriously? there isn't a day that goes by where I don't do some type of development in one of the 5 dbs we have!

Access - database management - Again, there are 5 dbs to manage, one all my own doing!

Financial Modeling - I have created and managed some different financial projections for shipping using various formulas and statistical methods.

Financial Statement Analysis - Each week I run/analyze the P&L for the Internet division. I understand that this may not be the traditional definition of Financial Statement, but, its pretty close to an income statement.

Customer Relationship Management - currently I run the Customer Satisfaction Survey, and do all follow-up communication with unhappy customers.

UPS Online Shipping - each week I match up the UPS invoice with our orders for that week and comb through it for money or training issues. Thus far for the year, I have found nearly $8k!

Logistics - I create and manage the supply schedule for all of our shipping material with the controller

Data Analysis and Presentation - I create and run various financial and inside data reports and present findings. Latest report was on the shipping department and possible lost business due to the old shipping containers.

Mainframe and internal financial systems - I have written and administer various financial reports that are run each week.

SQL - while my knowledge may be basic, its still pretty good.

Operations Problem Solving - My job has a real broad direction. I basically look for problems and fix them.

Not really sure what my current job is called, since I have so much freedom and wear so many hats. Originally, I was thinking my job was Quality Control Manager, because that's what I was told I was. BUT I do so much more than just Quality Control. I decided that Data and Operations Analyst fit much better.

I am sure that there are more, but for now, this is it!!
