Joseph Palumbo

As a canvasser I learned:

• Great Communication skills
• Sales Skills
• Social Skills
• Being focused all day with no supervision
• Friendly with coworkers

Having to talk to random strangers all day and convince them to donate money for something that they wouldn't see any result for right away, was definitely challenging to say the least. Yet, each day I came to work ready to take and that challenge, for everyone's benefit. My time as a canvasser has given me the skills needed to do any job in this relentless world
