You give high priority to hiring firms with prestige.

W Lance Craft - About Me
I started my career in Aerospace, which I found challenging and satisfying. Through my various job roles, I had the opportunity to be involved with many exciting products and some wonderful people. I also had the opportunity to travel to various cities across the US and to Germany, France, Singapore, and Indonesia. After donating bone marrow to a little girl, I placed a new emphasis on the importance of family. As a result, I voluntarily left aerospace and New York to seek new opportunities in Florida, where the rest of my extended family lived. After a time, I was offered a job with a unique company founded by Jack Eckert and Bob Graham. This company was created to run prison industries. The corporate mission was two fold: (1)to run prison industries like a private sector company, and (2) to provide an environment for rehabilitating prisoners. In the process, I learned a great deal about the Furniture indurty and marketplace and did my part to turn inmates into productive law abiding cictizens. Now its time agian for new challenges and opportunities.
