I have title abstracting/examiner experience in Residential Real Estate and the Coal and Oil and Gas Industry, along with previous Sales/Management experience that would be a great attribute. I also understand the value of working with the public in various employment experiences, and by having these experiences, I feel when I am hired I would be a first-class addition.
