Please Review Resume



To All,

I have been a mobile DJ for 17 years and full time for 10.  I have learned a lot about people, sales, service and overall company management and prior to owning my company I was in Retail sales and management for 8 years and inside sales and management for 8 years.  I would like to get back in the work force but I get the distinct impression that I am being discarded and/or discounted the minute an employer reads "mobile DJ".  Please review my resume, help me to catch any grammatical errors and overall impressions that may be confusing or illogical.  I would love to be in a management program, independent sales, public relations or advertising.  Something that involves working with people in a dynamic service or sales atmosphere.  But I have to have the ability to complete my year's bookings with my current company and I would prefer to have a monday through Friday responsibility to work.  Please look thinks over and give me your impressions.

Objective

To work within a company that will fully utilize strong management skills, excellent customer service skills, natural sales ability and task-orientated, creative problem solving skills.  To work within a company that values entrepreneurial drive, experience, hard work and quality performance.
