Selling Skills and ability
My husband and I are moving to Prescott in May. We are currently living on our sailboat in the Sea of Cortez in Mexico. I have 7+ years working in the green industry, mainly in Colorado where I specialized in xeroscaping for the City of Fort Collins in their Parks Dept. I also have a BS degree in Natural Resourse Mgmt and Biology with minors in Soil Science and Botany. I am very impressed with your website and would love to be involoved with your company once I arrive in the area. Is there a way to apply for any of your open positions online, or must I drop them off in person? I would very much like to be a part of your company. Thank you for your consideration. I would be happy to fill out your application and/or send you a resume. I hope to hear from you soon.
Thank you,
