My work as a substitute teacher and remote customer service agent has provided me with a wide range of skills that significantly strengthen my professional portfolio. As a substitute teacher, I have been able to handle many different types of classroom situations and unexpected challenges due to my willingness to adapt, endurance, and ability to communicate well with many different types of people. As well, my ability to deal with problems, handle disputes, and establish rapport has grown as a result of working remotely as a customer service representative. All of these jobs have improved my adaptability and efficiency in unpredictable or fast-paced workplaces.
