Career Summary and Objectives

For over 3 years I have been working as a Pawn Broker, negotiating pricing on purchases and sales independently. I have set up displays for products, done product research, and provided technical support for those products as well. During my time at Fast Cash I brought in 70k + a year in sales. I was promoted to Assistant Manager after my first year, which is the position I have currently.

My goal is to take a sales or sales management position that enables me to leverage my technical consulting and sales experience, along with my strong leadership skills to drive and exceed revenue objectives.
