Melissa Rapkin’s Experience

Owner

Documents2Disc

(Computer Software industry)

June 2003 — Present (6 years 2 months)

Owner responsible for management and operations of a cutting-edge technology-based business. We scan documents and convert them to a .pdf format, saving our clients space, time and money. We can fit the contents of a 4-drawer file cabinet onto one CD. Our search software enables clients to find what they need instantly. Imagine the improvement to productivity – no more time wasted filing, searching, retrieving and re-filing. All clients receive two copies of their CD or DVD, giving them backup and peace of mind in case of hurricane or fire. Most of our clients pass the cost of scanning on to their clients, allowing them to archive files with no out-of-pocket expense.
Owner

FASTSIGNS

(Privately Held; Printing industry)

November 1993 — June 2003 (9 years 8 months)

Owner in charge of day-to-day operations and customer service at this fast-paced retail sign franchise. I guided clients to make decisions that allowed them to get the most from their sign purchase. We specialized in all types of non-electrical signage, including ADA compliant signs, and produced them in-house, usually in one day.
