Welcome hiring managers. On this site you will find more details on my work and personal history and ethics that can not be so easily infered by just a resume and cover letter.

My Career Objective & Work Experience Summary


 

I Want More than A Career, I Want A Mission. Your Cause Becomes My Cause

I'm looking for more than a job, but a mission- a career with a business or entity that specializes in economic development, land and wildlife conservation, or farmland preservation, even if I have to start off at the bottom (like cleaning the office) and work my way up. I have the drive, passion, restlessness and real-world experience and training you're looking for! 
My "bread and butter" is mainly janitorial and food and customer service work. I have 14 years experience in basic janitorial, with some being construction clean-up, light landscaping, floor buffing, stripping and waxing, and some light maintenance. I was also promoted to management positions thanks to the way I take ownership of my job, take the initiative when needed and not just wait for others, and show an ability to organize and manage personnel, finances, inventory and work schedules. Routinely, as Assistant Program Manager with the DLBA, I had to generate work orders and actively ensure all employees finish them correctly and within the timeline given. I also did general office work, including e-mailing, faxing, scanning, answering phones and taking messages, filling out reports both on paper and computer, and so on.

As the above was temporary, I am now back to being a cleaner, with my duties being cleaning sidewalks, gutters, drains, and planters, removing large debris and graffiti, emptying overflowing trash cans, and doing some light landscaping. In my fourteen years of experience, I have worked in offices, both private and government, in high-rises, restaurants, and construction sites. 

Though a while ago, I also have extensive experience in fast-food and casual dining services, being a Shift Supervisor of a Carl's Jr. at one time. 


As you can see by my profile on LinkedIn, under my DBA of The C. Forte Company, I am also working as a "side job" on blogging, photography, social networking, and activism on behalf of causes like the ones I mentioned at the opening of this summary. More on LinkedIN
