00:00:00.001 --> 00:00:03.355
I was working for a local
store as a sales clerk.

00:00:03.390 --> 00:00:05.560
Almost every time I tried
to use our credit-card

00:00:05.595 --> 00:00:08.065
verification system, I'd get
a message that said

00:00:08.100 --> 00:00:09.369
"please wait. "

00:00:09.404 --> 00:00:11.341
Then it dawned on me that
we only had one telephone

00:00:11.376 --> 00:00:12.979
line in the store.

00:00:13.014 --> 00:00:15.690
I talked with the supervisor
the next day, and he added

00:00:15.725 --> 00:00:17.330
another phone line.

00:00:17.365 --> 00:00:19.896
I am trained in using all of
the popular business software

00:00:19.931 --> 00:00:23.423
programs and have superior
organizational skills.

00:00:23.458 --> 00:00:26.022
I have extensive experience
working in a similar

00:00:26.057 --> 00:00:27.902
environment, and I'm sure
I will become

00:00:27.937 --> 00:00:30.279
productive immediately.

00:00:30.314 --> 00:00:32.801
When I was in college, we
took many classes they told

00:00:32.836 --> 00:00:35.152
us would cover almost any
type of situation we

00:00:35.187 --> 00:00:36.611
would encounter.

00:00:36.646 --> 00:00:38.971
The one contingency I was not
prepared for was dealing with

00:00:39.006 --> 00:00:41.288
un-motivated people.

00:00:41.323 --> 00:00:44.419
Fortunately, I was able to
improve their motivation by

00:00:44.454 --> 00:00:47.225
making them part of an
exciting team effort.

00:00:47.260 --> 00:00:50.398
I speak, read and write
French fluently.

00:00:50.433 --> 00:00:50.615
I also have a working
knowledge of Spanish.

00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:56.269
I have recently completed a
series of seminars in

00:00:56.304 --> 00:00:58.200
communication and
management skills.

00:00:58.235 --> 00:01:00.199
Some of the topics I learned
more about during these

00:01:00.234 --> 00:01:02.852
seminars are supervisory
skills, interactive

00:01:02.887 --> 00:01:06.087
listening, creativity
and innovation.

00:01:06.122 --> 00:01:09.185
I also keep current on trends
in my field by subscribing to

00:01:09.220 --> 00:01:11.063
industry newsletters.

00:01:11.098 --> 00:01:13.644
I feel very comfortable
using computers.

00:01:13.679 --> 00:01:16.045
In addition to being familiar
with most of the popular

00:01:16.080 --> 00:01:18.825
business software programs,
I am also good at

00:01:18.860 --> 00:01:21.374
troubleshooting software and
hardware problems.
