Highlights in Job Experience
Major parts of my work experience that I feel is significant in my growth as a person include(s) the following:
Working for Sunglass Hut for a long period of time allowed me to consistently perform and grow, help the team at store 4074, and the company reach daily and annual goals. Working for 5 years I was able to grow my sales technique and people skills to where I became a top consistent performer with my numbers. My use of product knowledge and enhanced awareness of the social psychology of interactions gave me an advantage on how to approach, engage, and close sales with customers.
Being on the road in the San Jose area in California working for Signature Masters allowed me to experience a work environment where I set my own goals as to where I could push myself at my own pace, but hard enough to get results that come from determination, precise skills and hard work. I was able to enhance my public speaking skills by interacting with hundreds of strangers daily and connecting with them to spread political messages to people of all different backgrounds and perspectives.
I am currently employed at The Henry Ford Health System, Detroit Main Campus, working as a Laboratory Assistant. more experience to come.
