My reason for wanting to change employment is occasioned primarily by the unsound condition of the appliance industry. It is this condition which brought about my demotion from Zone Manager in Seattle to Branch Manager of Oregon. Kelvinator, Frigidaire and General Electric, starting about two years ago, abolished certain high level positions. The men handling these positions were trusted, reliable, and experienced so in most instances were not released but assumed their former positions. This resulted in a chain reaction and caused the demotion and relocation of those on down the ladder. My reason for leaving Portland was voluntary. My family and I did not like the climate of the Northwest and wished to return to Southern California. I was transferred at my request. My experience in the past has been very broad. It has included direct selling, sales training of both employees and dealer personnel, sales promotion and advertising, preparing sales budgets and forecasts, setting up territory potentials and commissions, interviewing and hiring salesmen and comptrollers, supervision of sales office personnel and their functions, responsibility for all financial facets of a zone operation (including forecasts and credit and collection), and the buying, warehousing and transportation of merchandise. A second reason for wanting a change of employment is occasioned by the fact that an advancement with my company would take me again out of Southern California. This I do not desire at this time. However, I have been subtly approached in this regard. [No signature, date or closing is typed after the last line.]
