| Objective and Resume Summary | |
| My objective is to make a valuable contribution to this organization professionally and it will be my honour to be a part of this organization. I have had the experience of coordinating, implementing and executing promotional activities as the supervisor of a team of promoters and sales representatives. During my stay at FirstCommunications Ltd, I had the opportunity to analyze data on market trends for over 20 countries which played a critical role in my function as Reporting Analyst. This has helped me to develop excellent communicative and time management skills. Included in my Marketing Degree program was a ‘Spanish for Business’ course, and also having done the Spanish exam at the CXC level, my work experiences with Multilateral Organizations including Novartis (Pharma), The Inter-American Development Bank and Digicel, has nourished my Spanish-speaking skills where I have been provided the opportunity to interact with different colleagues via email and verbal communiqué. I have sound interpersonal skills which have deemed me as an outstanding team player. If given this opportunity, I will certainly provide leverage with the experiences that I have gained to the benefit of the organization. I acquired a Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing and during my studies I did Financial Management along with Financial Accounting courses, which will permit me to be of an asset to your company, as I am willing to be challenged in any capacity. Thank you for taking the time to review my application and I look forward to hearing from you in the near future. | |
