Achievements

Why should my prospective employer hire me?

Recently, since January 2007, I have learned to get top-10 search engine results on Google, MSN, Yahoo, etc. within 1 or 2 weeks without Paid-Per-Click (PPC) keyword marketing. For example, I built a website http://www.blendersoundbox.com and http://www.3blenders.com, etc... Sales started coming in within a week, already being positioned on top-10 search engine results. If I can do it, so can anyone.

In the Past: I am a talented and skilled project manager. I use process mapping to lay out the project task steps and get the task participants’ buy-in. Besides 6 years experience in project management (PM) I have an MBA in Global Technology Management, which built the foundation for me to learn and perfect my user-knowledge of PM software, technology network applications, e-commerce, and statistics on a global level. And to show that I am quick learner, I finished my MBA with a 4.0 GPA in half the scheduled time (8 months instead of 16 to 18 months).

Ambition for higher learning and for research

In addition I am just a few months away from completing a PhD research project in Leadership and Organizational Change. And I am a certified business process manager with experience in consulting and re-engineering organizational processes. As a result I understand what impact change has on projects and the participants and I know how to manage it. Consequentially in previous jobs I reduced the project completion time by 2 to 4 weeks and helped shave off 20 to 30% of the project budgets.


Localization Management

 I managed multiple translation localization projects and converting/adapting various materials, product, consumer goods, electric appliances goods, events, labels, DVD's, Audio CD's, documents, contracts, etc... to local market conditions for resale and as support materials. For example, these items were localized for either replenishing the current market and after revising them to bring them into compliance with local regulatory affairs requirements (functional claims), or for the opening of new markets.

As a result of my skill to manage multiple tasks, brainstorm with stakeholders and cross-functional teams in the organization and externally, I was able to improve the quality of finished items. Customers were satisfied, I exceeded their expectations, money was saved, and markets were able to open on time, bringing in instant revenue.


Well organized

I finish projects on time and budget because I am well organized. For example, as project manager I was so organized with the status of each project task that I was able to follow up persistently with each team member. As a result the project costs were 25% below budget and helped my project task team members each to play their part according to specifications. This increased my task team members satisfaction level dramatically.


Planning skills

I have great planning and process task mapping abilities. For example, I map out each project process task step together with my project team members. As a result we were able to finish a marketing review project under budget and prior to deadline while also receiving maximum team support and satisfaction from all involved departments. We were able to prevent print errors and so didn’t have to pay for multiple print editions.


Communication skills

I have strong communication skills. For example, I increased the relationship quality between the Corporate Headquarters in one company with its European management teams when traveling there. I learned to understand their culture, goals, and personalities. As a result the European management team became more open to accept council from senior executives of the Corporate Headquarters. Product suggestions were accepted and revenue increase followed.

Analytical skills

I am very analytical and can see the big picture. For example, the VP of Marketing asked me to find out what we should do with $ 20,000 worth of labels. Because of my analytical skills I was able to make a recommendation to throw away the labels and instead move local bottling up by four months. This saved the organization $ ½ million dollars due to reduced importation duties, transportation cost, and excise taxes.

E-Commerce marketing / SEO skills

I am a very creative e-commerce keyword researcher and website content writer. For example, I was able to get the search engines Google and Yahoo to display one website’s search results on page 'one' in only 1 week after its start up. As a result the website traffic to this website brought over 100 high performance blender sales during its second month. Revenue of $ 50,000 for a small start up business in less than 2 months is significant.


Process mapping

I am an experienced effective Business Process Management (BPM) process mapping consultant. For example, in 2004 at Brigham Young University (BYU) as part of a process mapping project team I managed the identification of current and future desired Financial Aid Application process steps. As a result, I was able to bring about positive change with new process objectives. Consequentially the new processes shortened BYU’s application process by 20%. This led ultimately to increased student satisfaction and also helped increase the quantity of student applications.

Multi-task project manager (The power of visual project task folders)

I am a well organized multi-task project manager. For example, at one company I improved the project task tracking system by organizing tasks into color-coded folders and putting the task folders then into one project file. This helped to distinguish between projects and tasks, and to update them systematically in hardcopy. It was easy by anyone to take a look and inspect any status information. The hardcopy status was then updated on Excel or MS Project software and disseminated to all project task stakeholders.

While it was extra work, this filing system and organization of projects and their tasks resulted in the ability that anyone could retrieve a status report on a second's notice. When a task team member was behind schedule or above budget, this customized tracking system allowed for improved followup. It saved time!

Persistence and Focus!

I am a fast learner and gifted student. For example, in 2002 I wanted to receive my MBA in Global Technology Management. This was a 16 to 18 months program, already difficult enough for many to accomplish. Because of my focus and persistence as a fast learner, I was able to double-up my courses while working full-time, thus finishing my MBA course in ½ the time with a 4.0 GPA.


Sales and customer service satisfaction

I have strong customer service satisfaction skills. For example, when working with the European market, customers at times received product late or not at all. Because of my ability to communicate and my focus on customer satisfaction I was able to turn the complaint into a friendly and satisfying phone conversation. As a result, I built valuable relationships with customers. I up-sold customers about 300% to 400% above average compared to other customer service agents.
