Grant Golden

Jacksonville,FL

Summary

Hello, my name is Grant Golden and am looking for a company I can spend years with. I would like to experience personal growth potential and also help your company grow!

I have always been interested in business and have taken business courses in college. Last year I studied for and received my insurance license. The Florida insurance license plus variable annuity. I enjoy doing this but find being on commission only has been difficult to get my bills and student loans paid for.

I am looking for a full-time job in business or office administration. I have no problem being on the front line working with clients, as I enjoy talking to people. I am friendly and flexible with work hours and days, I am ready to work for the right company and willing to experience different work environments.

Computer programs I am familiar with and currently use MS Excel, MS Word, Powerpoint, CRM (insurance program), MS Outlook, Adobe, and DOS.
