PERSONAL STATEMENT
For the past 10 years, much of my experience has been in Church Ministry, while
maintaining my Insurance Licenses and continuing to service some existing client
s. Being in ministry has made me a better listener and broadened my understandin
g of the needs of many from various age groups and backgrounds.
As a California Insurance Broker, I have brought my expertise to work in Human R
esources and then as the Chief Financial Officer for a Non-profit agency. I brin
g 25 years of professional experience with me.
I am seeking a career in Sales, Marketing and Management that rewards a job well
done and provides an opportunity for professional growth and development.
I am comfortable in front of a crowd and led and managed the music program at on
e of the largest churches in California for several years.
I will do what needs to be done to be successful in my chosen field and would li
ke the opportunity to speak with you further if my qualifications fit with your
needs.
Sincerely,
Perry D. Brian
