I am looking to obtain a position in the field of Acquisitions and Contract Management in order to gain the knowledge and experience needed to pursue a career in this field. I have worked in the cell phone industry for a total of 8 years. During these years I have gained experience in working with contracts and going over terms and conditions of contracts, and how to quickly overcome objections. I have also gained experience in managing inventory, tracking shipping and receiving of inventory, performing effective price analysis, and managing/coaching an efficient selling team. I have successfully completed all classes and studies required and graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science in Acquisitions and Contract Management from Athens State University (August ’15).
