Patrick O'Hara
Glenview,IL
Summary
Recent Graduate at Bowling Green State University studying Sales and Services Marketing, with real-world experience in sales and customer service. Over the past few years, I've worked in roles that taught me how to connect with people, solve problems on the spot, and sell with confidence. Most recently, I sold over $50,000 worth of products with Vector Marketing by building my own customer base and learning how to communicate value clearly. I'm looking to bring that same energy, work ethic, and drive to an entry-level sales role where I can grow and make an impact.
