Tip of the Week
Get out of your house and out from behind your computer. Attend networking events, schedule lunches and coffee with former colleagues and friends, go to job fairs, and volunteer your time.
Brian Conner
Chief Operating Officer
I enjoy every day the business of managing a business.
It is wonderful to be able to pursue not only your passion but also where your gifts lead you. I can look back to teachers and professors from grade school through my Masters Program who have helped in my personal development as an effective business leader. I am fortunate to have worked in three separate industries so far in my career: Automotive, Specialty Packaging, and Information Technology. Each position and industry added skills and experience that helped me in the next stage. During my decade with Ford as a Marketing Manager and Trainer I traveled nationally nearly every week. I loved meeting so many people from different places around the country and seeing firsthand just how similar and different we all are. In Specialty Packaging I learned that the smallest details matter.
Today, I still get a thrill from being able to see a new employee going to work at a new position. It reminds me how positive it is to be a small part of all that a new position means to a family joining the Select Resources Team. I find it a blessing working for a company that really does put others first and tries hard every day to live our firm’s corporate Mission Statement, it just encourages me. I continue to be involved in leadership through serving my Church and have been giving back as an adjunct Business / Finance professor at a local college.
