The Resume Web Page of Chris J. Drysdale

 

     Since this is the more formal forum, I'll maintain a proper dress code for the situation. On this page I shall provide an in depth overview of my resume. Again, regardless of the employment outcome for the both of us, thank you for your interest.


Professional Skills:

  • Management: Certified Trainer: When employed with Denny's, I enrolled in and completed their Certified Trainer Course. I was then responsible for training new servers for the day shift. Aspects of training included customer service, cash handling, company standards, safety procedures, equipment use, and computer order processing. Technical Writing and Design: During idle time when working at Image Graphics I both wrote and designed a revision of Image Graphics Employee Handbook, as well as a manual providing reference for all of the fonts available for customers and in house designing. The Image Graphics handbook was constructed to be a reference manual for entry level / moderately skilled employees. The font guide was a reference book listing several hundred of our fonts to streamline the typematching and typesetting issues. Group Leader, Batching Department, Accounts Payable: Batching is the term used for invoice processing. I was responsible for maintaining and improving workflow, synthesis between the batching department and the expenses / statements / filing departments, training new employees, crisis management, and the AP department intranet site. Also under my purview was the process of setting up new company vendors in our computer system and ensuring federal laws in that forum were adhered to as well.

( Also familiar with older versions of these programs. ) All of the Mac knowledge came from working at Image Graphics, as well as some of the PC knowledge (Xitron RIP, Quark, Pagemaker, some Photoshop, some Illustrator, and Corel). The rest of the PC knowledge has come from my studies at SPJC as well as self directed outside learning.

  • Technical: Experienced in 4 color process printing, trapping, film checking and handling, Imagesetter use and maintenance, as well as use and maintenance of other proofing devices. (Phaser 480 Tektronics, HP printers, and Unity laser printers.) Experienced in the handling, and safety procedures of the chemicals associated with film output. Additionally, knowledgeable in graphic design for the web and print mediums, web page design, technical writing, marketing, and data analysis. The technical skills listed are drawn predominately from working at Image Graphics in the printing industry, however my studies at SPJC, as well as those self directed, have provided synthesis with the web graphics / page design forum. Those skills coupled with the marketing and programming knowledge acquired through school, could conceivably make me your one stop graphics solution.
