Hi!

I'm Rodney Parks

Business IT Professional

A Diverse Profile

Reading my profile, anyone will feel that it, that my skill set is really diverse. Possibly I am too unfocused. You have heard of the saying, “Jack of all Trades, Master of None?”

On the surface the commonality may not be that clear but there is one, business. Since an extremely early age, I become an entrepreneur. I have learned skills my whole life, like many of us do, but where all of my experiences tie together is business.

I have used my skills as a tool to do business, either for myself or for companies. Who I am, is a person that knows the importance of how businesses need to work, how they all need a ROI.

My track record shows, that no matter what my job title or position was or is, I learn it, I own it and excel at it. To me, learning a skill is a tool. I use the tool to promote business.

This is what can make me a valuable asset for any company. I may not know everything when I first go in, but I will excel at it quickly, and long before the end.
