I am inspired to work hard not just to reap rewards, but also for personal satisfaction. I enjoy teaching and helping others realize their potential. I am flexible and able to juggle multiple tasks simultaneously, willing to take on new and varied projects and able to handle changing priorities and deadlines. One of my most important assets is continuously being able to contribute to, organize, manage, and/or lead projects and project teams. I am an attentive listener, a cooperative colleague and always willing to help others. Although I have not yet obtained my Bachelors degree, the time I spent in the Air Force coupled with my work experience, knowledge and drive to expand that knowledge far exceeds even that of a Bachelors degree level education. I am, however, actively preparing for the A+, Project+, and MOS Search Engine Marketing Engineer. It is a diverse collection of online marketing techniques with the goal of bringing qualified visitors to your website at a reasonable cost. It's a new and exciting arena of advertising and marketing. The field can be divided into 3 areas: natural search optimization, paid keyword search, and search feeds. There are very few experts in the field, although the players would have you believe otherwise. After 2 years of handling clients from start-up to Fortune 500's, creating keyword lists from the 1000's to the 10's of thousands, and handling ROI targets from 5% to 35%, I have both the confidence to tackle any Search Engine Marketing campaign and the understanding that I still have much to learn. I have been using proprietary tools as well as consumer available tools such as Google Analytics, Softnik Technologies & Golden Keywords for creating, tracking, managing, and optimizing large, complex, and effective search campaigns. I have conducted the testing of different bid strategies, keyword strategies, ad copy strategies, and landing page strategies to improve SEM campaigns. I have used tools that track every click, visit, order, and item, and monitored and optimized advertising spend versus resulting sales. I myself have created many analytical tools for bringing raw data together and forming real information using Excel and VBA. I am excited and self motivated to increase my knowledge and expertise in this growing and expanding field of Website Optimization, Online Direct Marketing, Shopping Comparison, Paid inclusion, SEO, and SEM. Coupled with a dynamic and innovative company, I strongly believe we can both succeed in accomplishing our goals.
