Examples
As a sales associate in a retail store,
I successfully handled
customers' needs every day.
To succeed, I had to be a patient
and diplomatic problem-solver
My work-study position as a computer-lab assistant
involved solid knowledge of the technology within
the labs, the ability to teach that technology to fellow
students, and the skills to assist those who had
problems with the software and hardware. To me,
that's what consulting is all about — possessing
the knowledge to teach and assist clients and the
interpersonal skills to do so successfully.
I am very excited about contributing my talents
in the field of promotions and event planning.
I served as a resident advisor for two years,
and I was very surprised at how much I used my
persuasion, creativity and organizing skills. I learned
quickly that the more you know about your customer,
the outcomes desired, and how to adapt to each
situation, the easier the event becomes. My success
in selling my ideas to residents and administrators
and designing all types of events makes me an ideal
candidate for your event planning assistant position.
