Summary
Note: I am available to start work asap. I am looking for a remote Sales Support position opportunity. I am friendly, professional, dependable, and a visionary. I have worked in Education, Sales and Film. When I was an Academic Advisor, I recruited a substantial number of students to join the Community Based Organization that I worked for to get free government funded educational sessions, educational resources, help with the college process etc.
I used Microsoft Office, Microsoft Teams, Excel, Zoom, Google Docs, sheets, and Calendar for Staff meetings, event planning, and project management. I had to schedule Zoom and in person meetings with school Counselors and Staff to discuss student improvement and educational events available students/Staff to attend. Also, in the Sales job I helped with customer support, sold products for the company, and worked with my Assistant Manager to run the store.I had to meet or exceed weekly measurable goals. I am eager for a fresh start in a new career and your companies values and interests align with mines.
