CURRICULUM VITAE
John R Young
My goal is to find a career where I can put my varied set of skills and interests to use. By blending different forms of media together I am more able to express myself and to convey my thoughts and messages to others. Through the processes of multimedia design, I find my drive, focus, and inner energy. To me, management is a production, where I can help others channel their talents and abilities to achieve a common goal.
Professional Info
Over the past few years I have developed strong customer service skills through the business I have worked for. I have also honed my time management skills and my ability to think outside of the box when unexpected situations arise.
