Joe Hutchison 

MANAGERIAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL RESUME

INTRODUCTION:
My name is Joe Hutchison. I am 50 years old, married for more than twenty-five years, and father to one teenage daughter.  I graduated from a church-affiliated high school in Memphis, TN. -Frayser Baptist Schools- so I know the value of education. My college education focused on the art of instruction, leadership, counseling, and teaching and has helped prepare me for the rigors of employee management and any administrative duties by offering detailed, formal instruction in the concepts of working within a team, psychology, strategies, tactics, negotiations, contracts, promotions, and marketing. I graduated magna cum laude from the University of Memphis May 1998 with a self-authored baccalaureate degree in Coaching and Athletic Leadership. I am currently enrolled at the university seeking a Masters Degree in Sport and Leisure Commerce through the Department of Human Movement Sciences & Education (HMSE) having completed all the necessary coursework at the Master's level and lacking only a senior thesis/special project (30 of 39 hours). This is a degree in Business Administration with a slant toward sport related commerce. These are not, nor were they intended to be traditional degrees. They are degrees designed outside the realm of traditional concepts and heavily scrutinized and critiqued by the University of Memphis, receiving special acknowledgment with the 1999 University of Memphis Distinguished Special Project Award. I possess strong organizational, interpersonal, and computer skills, and have considerable knowledge and extended course work in History, Geography, Math, English, Marketing, Health, Physical Education, and Team Sports. This letter serves notice I am interested in any current vacancy with your company or organization. It is to this end I hereby submit this resume.

EDUCATION:

EXPERIENCE:
...I have more than fifteen years managerial experience in several diverse industries. The author of numerous websites, including the award-winning football site mentioned above, I have also owned and operated two successful businesses - a computer assembly and sales, then home improvement company. Although the genre has varied over time in my work history, one theme has remained constant - I was always in, or rose to, positions of authority or management. Experiences in such a dynamic workplace often afforded me the opportunity to work in multicultural and diverse environments. I am a motivated, educated, dynamic, and driven problem solver. Being a successful manager, be it of inventory or personnel, does not mean knowing what page to turn to in the magical managers handbook to solve a problem. It means knowing how to analyze the problem, come to a plan of action, implement same to fruition, then provide some course to deter its recurrence. I am a manager in the truest, purest sense. I can manage a classroom, a group, a team, a business, myself, and my ability to successfully adapt to any environment. As a bonus I am far beyond computer literate: (my website).
...I also have more that ten years experience in the Automotive Industry with emphasis on fuel, ECM (computer), tune-up, performance, and diagnostic abilities. I also have extensive experience in general auto repairs including brakes, suspension repairs, alignments, and maintenance. I have worked for dealerships, aftermarket leaders, and independent repair facilities. My capacities and duties ranged from on-hands repair to estimate building, customer sales and service, point-of-sale transactions, office management, vendor account management, training, and more.
