Paul Parker’s Summary

Following is from summary of Paul Parker’s psychometric assessment results - September 2008.

"An articulate, friendly, supportive team player with the strong potential to enjoy and perform well in both sales and marketing areas, Paul is likely to build and forge strong working relationships both internally and externally. His sometimes understated, measured style is neither threatening nor overwhelming and his tendency to want to consult, listen and find appropriate solutions for other people does seem particularly apposite for [his current position]. He is also likely to value and reflect the whole ethos of the industry and genuinely be fired with enthusiasm for the product/service offering. He is intrinsically well suited to an innovative, development-centred role – be it product, market or business development – because he is a man with such vision.

"In a more general way, Paul is likely to be a good ambassador. His personal and business presentations are likely to be professional and he can be trusted to behave in the appropriate and expected manner of someone in the company’s front line. For the most part he is reliable and efficient."

Computer literate (MS Word, Excel, etc., etc.) as well as publishing related applications such as InDesign, PhotoShop etc. Considered to have excellent communication and presentation skills and able to speak some Spanish.
