Rob Jones’s Summary
I am currently a Marketing Coordinator at BuildDirect, an online building materials company. Because our platform is the Internet, a large part of my job is focused on managing content by making it accessible first to site visitors, and then to search engines. I consider it my mission to create a sense of trust and credibility for our customers, so that they know that they’re dealing with the experts who are on their side for great products, great prices, and great support at every stage. My background in customer service allows me to focus on this mission, and my experience and passion for great web content development, social media, and search engine optimization allows me to execute this mission successfully every day.
My Values:
I believe in honesty, integrity, respect for others, work-life balance, and the importance of family at all times.To me, teamwork is held together by mutual respect as much as it is by expertise. These values are vital to my sense of success and my goal is to continue in this, developing leadership skills, connections with experts in my field, and in gaining new experience at all times.
My Goals:
I wish to continue to be a force to convince people of the power of technology and community as they develop in parallel. I believe that technology widens the scope of community, and community builds credibility among peers. And this leads to success in many senses of the term, including financial success.
