Jesse's Example for The Top 10 Things You Should Know About Him

7+ years as a jack-of-all trades Digital Marketer with experience in Email Marketing, Paid Search Advertising, Social Media Advertising, A/B Testing and Content Creation.
My focus is on group accomplishments and the betterment of the collective team rather than individual accolades.
I thrive in environments that have an established on-boarding framework -- I'm a fast learner and once I have the initial processes down, I'm incredibly self sufficient.
I'm primarily soft-spoken unless I know my thoughts or opinions are genuinely appreciated.
I enjoy having the ability to create long term plans and visions.
I'm careful about giving my word -- When I give it, I keep it.
Business ethics should reflect morale ethics.
I value efficiency in myself and in my workplace.
I pride myself in automating as much as possible to take on, and learn, as many new tasks as possible.
