About Me

Posted by Taylor | Posted in | Posted on 5:56 PM

My life, course studies and career endeavors have given me many qualities that your organization would deem desirable and necessary to fill this position.

Serving as a volunteer missionary for two years in New York City served as the catalyst in forming the dedicated and dynamic way in which I approach life and my career. Talking with people has always been second nature to me, and being amongst complete strangers from around the world further enhanced my ability to be personable and develop relationships of trust and loyalty very quickly. After only a short period of time I was put into positions of leadership over the work of the missionaries. On multiple occasions I was given the responsibility to train new missionaries, and also train more seasoned missionaries to positions of leadership. The skills I have developed have given me hands-on experience in organizing, cooperating, delegating, and motivating others, and, are readily transferable to a multitude of disciplines.

Upon return from this experience I have put my efforts into conquering other objectives. My employment has mainly been in sales where I have been able to refine my conversational and persuasive skills. Working as a salesman has given me the opportunity to work with clients on a personal level, both face-to-face and over the phone. In each situation I have excelled to become the top salesman among my teams, and have been able to offer training and leadership to less experienced colleagues. I attribute much of my success to my ability to set goals that have made me stretch to reach toward my full potential. Recently, I have served as the Fundraising Chairman for a local non-profit organization called Global Outreach Foundation. Working side-by-side with the organizations founder, I have assisted in organizing committees and publishing a professional website.

I am confident that my knowledge and skills, my ability to work as a team player, and my strength in communication and persuasion would bring much added value to your team.
