Kevin Eleazer’s Summary
Hello!
I currently work for Time Warner Cable as a Warehouse Technician. I have a B.A. in English Language and Literature with a creative writing focus. I'm knowledgeable and have direct experience in many subject areas outside of areas of study including: recreational outdoors activities, high-adventure activities, heavy manual labor, travel (domestic and abroad), bug tracking, software testing, and conflict management.
My work experience is all over the board, from waiting tables to installing cable to working in new media fields. A read of my experience on LinkedIn is eclectic if nothing else, and I've learned to use my experience in every one of these jobs throughout my various careers.
I hope to eventually work in a creative field that would make good use of my skills, experience, as well as challenge me. I love working as part of a team, but also have experience working independently with little supervision.
On "paper" I look to be a bit of a wild card but I'm a down to earth guy with a good sense of humor and morale. I encourage you to contact me with any questions.
