About Gail Melichar

I have been fortunate enough to work in a lot of industries with amazing people. With these experiences, I have no doubt where my strengths lie. I am very good at absorbing large amounts of information, applying this information and staying on top of projects with many moving parts, risks, and personalities. I develop a vested interest in the well-being and success of a company and naturally help out if I see someone else struggling.I am an effective organizer and planner. My ability to work as a team player, meet deadlines and my penchant for detail are what contribute to my success. This is what I offer at the highest level:• Well-rounded experience and diverse skills. • I understand the needs and wants of junior employees and powerful CEOs, how to keep up team morale and how to establish genuine relationships with vendors and clients. I have succeeded in nitty-gritty financial tasks and high-pressure situations. My combined experience in media, travel, management, research, and tech makes me the perfect person for hire.• Communication and care. I have no desire to work for a company or with a team that I don’t care about. I believe in building up others around me emotionally and professionally. Clear, concise and authentic communication is what fosters a healthy and constructive working environment and no amount of vision or funding can replace that. Additionally, when managing teams of people, I am aware that everyone has a slightly different communication style. I make it a point to familiarize myself with how to best talk to clients, vendors, and coworkers.Specialties: Co-Director, Rutgers Community Action. Supervised an 800-member organization. Directed 20-25 projects, such as Big Brother/Big Sister. Organized and conducted monthly meetings. Raised membership 30% by means of promotional advertising techniques.
