So, the way I see it, hiring a new employee is a complicated thing. The obvious things that you want to look for are experience and education. That's easy to spot. They either have it or they don't.
The thing that's tougher to find is charisma and enthusiasm.
As an entertainer, I've got those qualities in spades.
So, take a look at my resume, and if it peaks your interest, wait until you get me into an interview. That's where I promise to knock your socks off!

Career Objectives
I have worked in various jobs throughout my career. My key areas, however have remained the same: building relationships with my clients. Through mutual respect and my genuine desire to share my positivity and creativity, my clients know that they can trust me. I have worked in retail, of some sort, most of my adult life, but I have come to realize that it is not just the thrill of the sell that I enjoy. It is the knowledge that I have genuinely helped someone that really makes it worthwhile.
Now, I am looking forward to exploring my more creative side in a new and exciting way!
