Summary
As a 17-year-old high school senior at Brooklyn Technical High School with a GPA of 3.9 and rigorous coursework including several Advanced Placement (AP) courses, I am a hard worker and conscientious individual with a solid work ethic. I am extremely responsible and an active listener, skills honed from experience as a private tutor and a salesperson working at a newsstand. My experience in all of these roles has given me hands-on experience with customer service, cash handling, and inventory management. My experience as an immigrant from Bangladesh has also enhanced my ability to effectively communicate and adapt to new surroundings. I learn quickly and perform well in fast-paced work environments. I am available to work any weekend shift and after 5 PM during weekdays, and I am certain that my experience and dedication make me the best candidate for the Marshall's team.
