I would like nothing more than to put my proven negotiation techniques, stellar interpersonal skills, and business-minded approach to work for your company. My professional background includes twelve years of experience in the music and entertainment industry, wherein I applied my extensive knowledge of music licensing and publishing to the end of closing countless business transactions in highly competitive markets. My demonstrated ability to creatively manage multiple licensing negotiations with businesspeople working in a wide range of capacities attests to my aptitude for energetically pursuing goals and consistently exceeding expectations. My completion of masters degrees in both Project Management and Intellectual Property Law ensure a firm understanding of the intricacies of the music industry and a proclivity for organization and initiative with regard to creating and maintaining working relationships with a variety of figures in the music world. Furthermore, the need for continuous self-improvement is central to my personal philosophy, and I have invested a significant amount of time in perfecting my leadership skills by heading a 50-member team of artists, editors, and production coordinators during my work as a Production Control Manager for Warner Bros. Publications. In addition, I have made a concerted effort to remain up-to-date with regard to current artists in the music industry, as I believe that an in-depth knowledge of the music itself is an invaluable and necessary adjunct to my professional experience. I would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you in person regarding how my skills might best meet your needs. You may be particularly interested in my previous successes in relation to cost-reduction and my suggestions on how to get the best deal terms possible with regard to music licensing. I may be reached by phone at (818) 523-3241, or alternately by email at hankfields2000@yahoo.com. I would like to thank you in advance for your kind consideration.
