I'm very proud of my progression with MedQuest. I believe that a company's ultimate reward to its people can be found in the recognition it gives via in-house promotions - and I was able to double my starting salary in less than three years.
• Details are available to qualified people, if you have a need to know my starting/ending salaries - and the details of my promotions, please ask.

Probably impatience - I like to size up the issue at hand, develop a game plan, and then implement the strategy. All too often, however, it's not possible to implement until a committee has had a chance to weigh in. Once I develop a plan, I like to jump in with both feet.

I believe that I can make the greatest contribution by focusing my attention on the task at hand - and not worrying too much about where I'll be in five or ten years. But I certainly assume that in five years I will be handling far more responsibilities than when I was hired.

I have a track record for assuming responsibilities above and beyond the call of duty, and I'm always willing to go the extra mile to get the job done.

A lack of communication was omni-present at the company I last worked for - and our Director of IT asked for ideas on ways to improve it. Up until this point, the main method of communication was through newsletters. I suggested a corporate-wide Intranet as a means to communicate among all of the employees (doctors, techs, transcriptionists, office personnel and corporate) and demonstrated to the Steering Committee how it could be implemented. This not only solved the timeliness issue of corporate communications to the field, but also allowed all employees, at all levels, to communicate with each other - opening up forums between the 90+ centers situated throughout the southern United States.

I began my career with KPMG as a Graphic Artist…that is, I created PowerPoint presentations from our consultant's notes and diagrams. I did this job for about three years, but during this time I also became the "go-to" person in our department for technical problems. Towards the end of this period, I also began assisting the IT department as it rolled out a new groupware application to the entire firm. The Healthcare portion of this product, which allowed for the sharing of documents, calendars, etc., was ultimately placed in my control – and I was responsible for the content and layout, as well as ensuring that it was utilized by our staff. My role expanded to include demonstrating the product to large groups of people, and to facilitating small groups of individuals. When KPMG rolled out the firm-wide intranet, my team was responsible for virtually all aspects of the Healthcare and Government areas. Over the next few years, I also worked very heavily in the Telecommunications, Entertainment, and Computer (hardware and software) components – and was ultimately promoted to Senior Associate reporting directly to a Senior Partner in the Knowledge Management Department.

I assume most everyone would answer that they want a combination of feedback and independence. For me, I have always excelled with less supervision - which is one reason I was allowed to telecommute, almost exclusively, during the last three years I was with KPMG. I maintained an office in Montvale, NJ (headquarters for the American Firm), but only traveled to it periodically. The rest of the time I worked from a home office.

If you have a specific question for me, please ask.
