About Carson Schalk

As an accomplished professional in fleet management and procurement, I have developed a comprehensive skill set over several years, characterized by versatility and a deep understanding of the automotive industry. My career journey began with a foundational experience at Richmond Ford Auto Group, where I engaged in job shadowing that offered insights into various aspects of the business, including sales, accounting, and customer service. My role at Criswell Automotive, Inc. significantly shaped my career path. Starting as a Marketing and Promotions Intern, I honed skills in inventory analysis, vendor coordination, and website management. This foundation led to a part-time position as an Administrative Assistant in Government Fleet Sales Operations and Logistics, where I supported bid preparations and fleet order processing. My responsibilities and skills further expanded in my subsequent full-time role as a Coordinator. Here, I specialized in managing customer contracts, fleet acquisitions, and was proficient in preparing bids for government contracts. I also managed supplier contracts and coordinated vehicle delivery logistics, demonstrating my strengths in fleet management, business processes, and attention to detail. Currently, at Hertz in Estero, Florida, I have continued to grow professionally, first as a Fleet Services Administrator and now as a Fleet Analyst in Fleet Procurement. My role encompasses vendor and inventory management, showcasing my expertise in Microsoft Excel and analytical skills. The progression from an administrator to an analyst within a year reflects my ability to adapt and excel in fast-paced, dynamic environments. Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated strong communication skills, adaptability, and a team-oriented approach. My proficiency in MS Office applications, alongside my technical support and networking skills, underscores my capability to handle complex tasks efficiently. My experience is complemented by a solid foundation in inventory management, account management, and troubleshooting, making me a valuable asset to any team in the automotive or fleet management sector.
