Accomplishments
Through my years in customer service, I have learned that with the rising costs of living, people as a whole are looking for the best products for their money. People want to be treated with respect and kindness. No one wants a bad product that is a waste of money. They want answers and solutions if by chance they do run into problems.
I am a hard working, self motivated, put my heart and soul into what I am doing person. I give it my all. I am always up for a challenge and don’t back down employee. If I am wrong, I admit it. My faith in God and the obstacles put in my life have driven me to be the perky, upbeat person I am.
