How do I go about applying my skills and talents?

Question

I'm very good at doing custom fabrications in almost any area I chose. As a kid I made all kinds of creative things not on the market. Last night I emailed Hoover telling them about my talents and I would be very good at research and development R&D. If they had a product waiting for R&D I could help. When I do fabrications I'm a perfectionist, to the point I have a ZERO come back rate. I would like to get plugged in somewhere. I don't know how to go about it.
Also I have very thought out, highly marketable, inventions that would make lots of money. I do know about the disclosure document way of preserving my inventions. I need to take above and beyond that stage. Can I please get some suggestions as to how to go about all this stuff? I most definatel appreciate any feed back I get.

Thank You,
Lanny Marden

First of all you need to get a patent on your inventions in order to prevent someone from stealing your ideas and reaping the benefits. Next you need to develop a portfolio and do a power point presentation on your inventions. You then need to seek out possible investors who will be willing to invest in your inventions. By so doing, you might be able to manufacture your inventions or find someone who will be willing to manufacture them for you (outsourcing). Since you are new at this you might want to develop one invention at a time and learn from the experience. Check out these links. All the best!
