Spending 22 years in the plastics industry, rising from lab technician to Vice President of Manufacturing, I thought I'd risen as far as I wanted to go in terms of workload and responsibility. With that thought in mind, I changed industries and started my own manufacturing company in metal products, climbing that next rung up the ladder to total responsibility. Managing people, departments, processes, projects, facilities, money and time hones skills and improved my decision-making capabilities. The one lesson I've learned over the decades that I feel is most important is that no one, including myself, knows everything. Consequently, listening is the skill I'm working on now so that over the coming decades I can continue to avoid obsolescence.
Listed skills include Microsoft Office, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, Customer Service, and 11 others.
