I am looking for a job opportunity
Unless I am blessed enough to find someone that would grant FollowThePuck.com enough financial backing to build a new website with a database and hire a sales staff to do what I am doing for next year, I am going to have to find another job real soon.
FollowThePuck.com and a part-time job with the Sioux Falls Stampede is all that I currently have to earn income.
I am looking for something that is comparable to what I do now. My self-taught skills are in research and putting projects together like this website. I am an information gatherer and I love numbers and statistics especially in a sports/athletics environment.
I do not have any programming experience. I figured out the dynamics of putting this website together simply by doing the research online, applying it, and foregoing some trial & error. I am very good at problem solving.
I went to college for business management and accounting. I have not directly applied my accounting education to any job that I have had in the past. I have had some management experience via VarsityOnline for a little over a year before the company ceased operations.
My work experience has been most exclusively in an office environment working on everything from high school sports website scores & stats management to health insurance enrollment to a courier in the Twin Cities to preparing foreclosed houses for resale (premarketing). I've done a little bit of everything. I even threw quite a few bales on farms in high school.
I type pretty fast and work very well on my own. I am quite independent but work well with others. I would prefer to be able to work from home to avoid a commute and not have to 'dress up'. I don't mind working 12+ hours a day from the comfort of my own home.
As I said, I would prefer to work from home. I plan to move back to Minnesota as quickly as I possibly can from Sioux Falls. I am leaning to a move to the Alexandria area right now. However, I will consider moving anywhere in Minnesota for the right opportunity. I am most willing to move to the Alexandria, Brainerd, or Duluth Area in that order. Next, I would also be open to possibilities in the Twin Cities metro area, which I have lived for 10 years of my adult life. I would also give consideration to move to Wisconsin.
If you have any open opportunities in something that may match my skills and interest and I can help your company succeed, I would appreciate your consideration.
Thank you.
