I'm right with you, Nostatic. "No job, no live..."
Okay to make things easier ( I hope), maybe you guys should be filled in on my background... I have 11 years experience with Bombardier Aviation Services/Learjet Tucson. The last 4 yrs. as a Service Sales Rep for Learjet specializing in Interiors and Paint. Prior to my promotion, I was Lead Interior Tech at the Challenger Service Center. In the late eighties and early nineties, I was employed by Lockheed as an Interior Mechanic to refurbish and modify commercial jets. For a time, Swimming Pool Design/Sales proved profitable, as well as Plastics Sales for Southwest Plastics. My experience may be varied but are consistant in the areas of sales and fabrication. I consider myself to be well seasoned and ready to handle new challenges. Two things I value most are integrity and honesty. They are a must for establishing strong and lasting customer relations. As a result, I have always had a "knack" for closing the tough ones.
By trade, I am a Cabinet and Furniture designer/fabricator. I’ve produced various projects from antique reproductions, 32mm Euro-Style cabinetry to full scale Learjet Prototype Cabins, including designing and crafting production fixtures for caseworks manufacturing. As a sidenote: I was awarded a U.S. Patent for my abrasive tool design. Being a "hands on" kind of guy, I couldn't bare parting with my shop equipment, so I recently purchased a 22' commercial box truck with a hydraulic lift to store my shop for future use. Hey, it's always a good thing to have when one needs to do a little R&D work, eh?
Although I’m considered a highly-skilled fabricator, it's been noted by my calegues that customer relations, product presentations, contract negotiations and sales in general are my best suit.
I hope this helps.
