This site is the umbrella for my personal and professional life. It is updated intermittently. I am Tim Lovelock of Madison (Huntsville), AL, formerly Jacksonville, FL, Brooksville, FL, Tampa, FL, Orlando, FL, and a few other places when I was a child. I appear to do search engine optimization very well - if you are looking for the Tim Lovelock of Bain & Co. in Paris, his linkedin page is here.

Ambiguous Job Postings
As hiring managers, we’ve all seen funny, nonsensical resume statements. I probably have one in my resume, despite how often I’ve proofread it. Sometimes we get blind to the details when we’ve looked at something over and over.
It’s not unheard of for job advertisements to have mistakes also, usually due to re-using and rewriting a previous ad. I came across one today. I am not going to identify the employer, but at the bottom of their ad they specify the following:
*This is an entry-level sales position, with opportunity to grow within the sales organization…
Previous experience selling to government accounts is preferred.
Ooooooo-kay, which is it? 
Anyone else have any?

My Job Search
In the coming weeks (months?), I will be putting a significant portion of my time into my job search. When I joined this company, I hoped to leverage my current position into a more significant role. Unfortunately, the company is not growing at a rate that would make this likely at any point in the future.
So, I am currently UNDERemployed in a company with stagnant growth. In fact, I have little work to do during a typical day. I yearn for challenges that will allow me to showcase my management, analytical, and problem-solving abilities. I would love to stay in manufacturing, but I believe my talents work well in other industries and the challenge of proving my case would be most welcome.
My specific experience includes:
- Market Research, Analysis, & Communications for major electronics manufacturers in the Aerospace & Defense industry.
- Supply Chain Management, Materials Management, Inventory Analysis & Control, and Production Control for electronics manufacturers.
- Direct sales experience at the retail and consulting levels.
Please see my Resumes page for html and pdf versions of my resume. Any job leads would be appreciated.

This section is where the designer expected me to write something profound. I think. But he buried it at the bottom. I question the value of this section. If you actually read this far, send me a note through the contact page, ok?
Keep up with me
