ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I am looking forward to a new position, preferably in the area of support management. My current position does not offer much potential for growth nor are they interested in my ongoing education. I am a hard worker who enjoys conversation, golf and hiking.
Looking forward to being involved in a new project/new environment...
Give me a call, you will not be disappointed. This may not sound too professional but you must get hundreds of resumes that all sound pretty much the same. It's in my nature to be relaxed and a little informal, unless the situation dictates otherwise, and I wasn't sure how to get that across other than just saying so.)
