The following resume' covers my work and volunteer history
beginning in 1977, when I returned to Oregon, a couple years after I
completedmy formal schooling. Prior to that time, I had jobs in retail men's
wear, warehousing, library work, construction (sheetrock installation &
finishing, roofing, remodeling in vintage construction), service station
attendant (service, sales, assisting mechanic), light industrial work, office
work (reception, phone, filing, correspondence, etc.).
I have an especially strong background in customer service related
fields, as a pastor, an entrepreneur, on the sales floor and in call centers. I
enjoy that kind of work and am good at it. I will typically go the extra mile to
be sure that client's needs are met. I am affable and energetic, and I enjoy
cooperating as part of a team to reach our goals.
I am in good health and am up to the physical demands of most jobs
not requiring heavy labor.
Sincerely,
RobertG. Griffen
