&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:janaman4@msn.com"&gt;janaman4@msn.com&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;	Objective
&lt;br /&gt;	I would like to locate a position that has growth potential and one that presents incentive for advancement in both management and executive positions. My experience has prepared me for so many different options and I would like to explore them to the fullest extent possible. 
&lt;br /&gt;	Employment History :
&lt;br /&gt;Customer Service Representative/ Assistant Transportation coordinator
&lt;br /&gt;10/2007 &#8211; 8/2008  Logist......icare Solutions Inc., Savannah Georgia
&lt;br /&gt;&#61607; Scheduling and dispatching medical transportation for Medicaid patients for the southeastern region of the state of Georgia.  Extensive phone contact with both patients and transportation companies in the capacity of customer service and troubleshooting.  Routing and scheduling were daily responsibilities along with weekly cancellation reports and mileage corrections.  Interaction with both the patients and transportation providers required an enormous amount of data entry and the ability to resolve problems quickly and to be able to manage several different challenges at one time.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;	Customer Service Representative
&lt;br /&gt;9/2006 - 8/2007  East Coast Fruit Company, Garden City, Georgia
&lt;br /&gt;&#61607; Taking orders from clients over the phone and heavy data entry were the majority of my position with this company.  Assisting sales staff with pricing and resolving problems with orders along with occasionally making emergency deliveries myself were also part of my daily duties.  Daily interpretation, implementation, and distribution of inventory trouble reports were also my responsibility.  For a period of time I also worked from home in the evenings performing data entry  in addition to working during the day in the office.  I also trained several new employees in customer service and sales.
&lt;br /&gt;	Continuity Manager
&lt;br /&gt;11/2005 - 12/2005  Piedmont Television, Savannah, Ga.
&lt;br /&gt;&#61607; Logged in all commercial tapes into the database for two very busy television stations and assigning them a spot number and making sure that they aired during the correct dates and during the correct time of day according to contract specifications.  I managed a rather large database of commercials for various clients. I worked very closely with the production and sales departments.  Daily and weekly reports were also my responsibility.
&lt;br /&gt;	Traffic Coordinator
&lt;br /&gt;1/2004 - 10/2005  Cumulus Broadcasting of Savannah, Savannah, Georgia
&lt;br /&gt;&#61607; I was responsible for scheduling all commercial traffic on 3 radio stations and occasionally I was responsible for all 7 stations in this very busy Radio group.  I had close contact with all of the Account Executives and I was responsible for all order entry and filing of contracts.  Daily, monthly and quarterly reports were also the main duties of my small department.  Scheduling live events with the Programming managers were also part of my duties.
&lt;br /&gt;	Traffic Assistant
&lt;br /&gt;4/2003 - 1/2004  Adventure Radio Group/ Triad Broadcasting, Hilton Head, South Carolina
&lt;br /&gt;&#61607; This is a very busy  radio group of which I was responsible for scheduling all of the advertising for 3 stations.  The sales staff would submit the advertising contracts to me and I would create billing accounts and schedule all on air advertising.  I was also responsible for keeping all contracts current and filing all scripts and contracts.  I was also responsible for assisting in reception duties and answering phones.
&lt;br /&gt;	Team Leader/Department Supervisor
&lt;br /&gt;11/1997 - 2/2003  The Marketing Workshop/Compass Marketing Research, Norcross, Georgia
&lt;br /&gt;&#61607; I supervised a staff that ranged from 8-15 in the recruiting department of a very busy Marketing Research firm.  My duties were very diversified from staffing management to database management.  I worked extensively with Microsoft Word and Excel with which I utilized on a daily basis to maintain reports and quotas for each assigned project.  I was required to, at many times, juggle and manage up to 15 different research projects at a time.  All with different quotas and deadlines.     I also managed and maintained a large database on a regular basis.

      <title>Years of Customer and Project Management Experiences</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;To Whom It May Concern:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Since 2004, I have worked in the customer service and project management field. As a manger of two apartment communities, my duties far exceeded leasing. My concentrations lied within applicant screening, tenant relations, retention, and staff supervision. In addition, I controlled turn schedules as well as oversaw all capital improvement projects. This was achieved while maintaining excellent relationships with contractors, staff, and tenants. General office managemen............t, reporting, and advertising campaigns were also among my vital responsibilities. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Before property management, I worked in the broadcast/film and television industry. In 2003, I graduated cum laude from the Savannah College of Art and Design with a BFA in film and television. In addition, I have produced two independent feature films and freelanced for budding production companies throughout the United States.  More recently I assisted the producers of &#8220;Ruby,&#8221; a Style Network series shot in the Savannah area. I feel this industry&#8217;s prerequisite for excellent time management, strong communication, budgeting, and people organization has been essential to my success in other fields. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My computer knowledge is extensive. I am very familiar with commonly used office programs such as Microsoft Word, Outlook, Excel, Publisher, and PowerPoint. In addition, I am experienced with other useful programs such as Dream-Weaver, Photoshop, and Illustrator. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you would like to further discuss my background in person, please feel free to contact me at 912-844-4537. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;Crystal Maiorano&lt;/p&gt;
