Job #24 K-1 Packaging Group, Industry, CA 1999 Vice President Sales & Marketing Business Development and Supervised Staff This Job opportunity was an offer I could not refuse. Salary $80,000 as VP of Sales and Marketing. I did not know the job would only last nine months Although… At this stage in my life I was a bit more secure although having experienced success as a real estate I had a fall back plan and I was not putting all my eggs in one job… I felt the opportunity at K-1 was a good one because I was hired to help train a younger sales force and set up a sales plan and marketing plan which I effectively did in a few short months. I enjoyed training the sales representatives, interviewing and hiring one rep during my tenure and of course handling my own book of business which I brought in and making calls with the reps who needed my support. I believe my employer got the most out me and I got the most out them in 9 months and we parted gracefully after the 9 months… I had come to a point in my life as a seasoned professional with a horrible resume that I would be a hired gunslinger it appeared for the rest of my career in was not worried about it too much since my track record was pretty much established and I knew that my heart and soul was not selling printing and probably mot managing a printing company from my experiences to date. At age 44 I was pretty much as one of my friends had reminded me a balding tire to corporate America. The fight in me was still there but the jobs I had taken were just not the right fit. At this point I was open to anything and to my surprise another printing opportunity surfaced which would not be last one but close to it. Job #25 Westamerica Graphics, Foothill Ranch CA 2001 Print Salesman Yes, I kept repeating the same pattern of taking a job that I was not suited for or really had a passion not the best time in my life…thankfully my home life was great and work was something I just was going through the motions on I recall at this time in my life… I was paid a Base Salary of $50,000. I was spinning my wheels. Unexpectedly the tragedy of 9/11/2001 hit me like millions of Americans with Shock, Disbelief. 911 was a wakeup call to America and I’m sure If I was younger I would have joined the Military to help in any way I could. After 911 my desire to do something different led me to resign from my position at Westamerica Graphics to become a Teacher something I had thought about and was interested in trying. 66
