Summary
I am a charismatic, driven person well versed in customer service and operating under high pressure, exceling in both working alone and in a team, allowing flexibility in whatever environment. Thanks to past experience I am knowledgeable in how to interact with potential customers and how to promote goods and ensure sales. Working with and catering for all different walks of life has taught me universality in terms of interpersonal skills, tactfulness and sensitivity no matter the situation. Learning quickly and engaging productively are traits that I deem are necessary in any career, I believe I have both.
