Andrew Schaefer

I have worn a lot of different hats - at my current position I am referred to and utilized as a ‘jack of all trades’ while still exceeding expectations for my required goals. Since 2011, I have been promoted 8 times and held 11 roles within my 8 positions, and I quickly established myself as a top performer in each role.

While my official titles have included Sales Rep, Sales Manager, Terrirory and Leads Manager, Agent, Quality Analyst, Technical Trainer and Operations Supervisor, in reality I was known as the person who could do everything. Hats I wore there included data analyst, documentation consultant, TL9000 document approval, DIRECT coaching trainer, and the “Excel Guy.” Our business goals and directions were constantly growing and changing, and I thrived on the excitement of having to constantly readjust my sights and being an asset in all aspects.

No matter where I have been, I produce topnotch work because I am dedicated to making sure each and every piece stands out from the crowd. Whether it was coaching documentation, a job-aid or a development plan, I pride myself on my ability to recognize and articulate a distinct voice for every project.

While writing is my passion, project management is my bread and butter. Keeping on top of projects and making sure all parts get to the finish line at the same time is one thing I do best. The ability to juggle projects and never missing a deadline did not just develop through my professional experience. It also comes from constantly moving (I went to 17 schools in 14 years) and having to adjust to constant change. Ihave learned to budget my time and my assets, and most importantly, I learned to be flexible and to get things done.

I know what you are thinking – that yes, I am the perfect person for the job, but there is no way you can afford me. But I am not in it for the money – well, I am, but it is not the most important thing. I am looking for a position where my contributions count and my efforts are appreciated – and hopefully a long-term commitment.
