You thrive in a lively and team-centered environment and when a colleague or customer comes to you needing support, your response is always “How can I help?”. You’ve got excellent communication skills whether you’re writing a letter or answering the phone and when a client walks into the office or picks up that phone a top-notch customer experience is high on your list of priorities. Details delight you and hearing “there’s been a change in plans” doesn’t faze you in the least. If this sounds like you, we want to hear from you
