Communication & Typing Skills
Furthermore to my skills & experience I have strong typing and communication skills. In addition to using various means of communication platforms I have no problem contacting clients/customers via phone which I believe in some cases is needed. Also I have used various mail apps contacting clients by email, fax, telephone and any other forms of communication such as Microsoft, Gmail & Google Docs.
As far as typing in the 25 plus years in Customs Brokerage I have entered data since day one electronically.
Thanks.
