Summary

I have held and excelled at a variety of jobs.  I have thoughtfully and fairly managed a variety of teams to get jobs done accurately and on time.  I have worked in dusty stock rooms, organizing boxes and merchandise.  I have worked one-on-one with consumers, guaranteeing a genuine smile and satisfaction.  I have volunteered with organizations dedicated to saving wild salmon populations, promoting literacy, or equal political and social rights.  I find it hard to limit myself to doing only select tasks, because I have the desire to change things, and the drive the accomplish it.

 

Young, adept, and enthusiastic, you can have faith that I will be of a benefit to your organization.  I have a real knack for completing work in an exemplary, polished manner.  I move diligently until every detail is set, finishing on schedule and in a distinct, tasteful fashion.  I am excited to work.

 

If your organization is looking for someone to bring in a feverish enthusiasm, then I encourage you to contact me at paul.t.klein@gmail.com or visit me online to explore further opportunities between myself and your team. 

Objective

To find stimulating and exciting work in the Olympia area in a leadership position.  I am also actively pursuing internships and volunteer opportunities with both non- and for-profits.  Expanding my skill-set and human potential are among my top priorities.
