Old : Changing Careers : Hire Me!

As I'm heading into my second year of schooling I face the prospect of searching for new employment. I do because even with a bachelor's degree I won't get any further up the food-chain with my current employer. It's not their fault. They're just too small. All the positions they need to fill are filled, with no expansion in the foreseeable future. Actually, with all the headaches and heartaches I have had over the last 7 years, it still was worth it. They are great people and they run the company to the best of their ability and treat people fairly within the means they are able.

I will have an IT/Communication degree with little to no experience in IT other then by association. Little projects here and there have exposed me to web design and management. I even proposed, built and launched an ecommerce site nearly single handedly, but corporate vision changed and the site was axed. I will have the education and experience, but neither in the same field. It's not that I hadn't realized this before; I just need to figure out how to package myself now.

So, if you are looking for a 40-something, experienced purchasing & distribution expert with an IT/Visual Communications degree (in 12 months) I'm your man. I'm also a veteran if that helps. Oh, and I'd rather not work for minimum wage either. However, I will work for near that in a 'probationary mode' while I prove myself in a web design/developer arena. Then I will require fair compensation. Unless of course you want to hire me as a buyer/distribution/shipping/receiving expert, then you'll have to pay me well right out of the gate. I've already proven myself in that area thank you.
