Summary
Social engineering skills were developed while working for Social Highlight Company. I was trained on sales negotiation tactics and how to us CRM sales software.
Due to my personal interest in health and fitness, I am physically strong. Mentally, I value positive lifestyle choices like working out and sports. I've proven my value to all of the employers I've worked for. Extremely loyal and creative minded. Through working in restaurants as a chef assistant and in sales I've learned a lot about what motivates people to continue to buy from the store. Those motivations are high quality of service, products, and creating positive attitudes for that sense of place.
