First of all, I have to let you know that I am very passionate about K12 Technology Software I truly believe that your product saved my Junior High School daughter from failing Algebra! I had the opportunity to use to use technology software the first couple years of my daughter’s Junior High School education. I would log on every couple days to track my daughter’s progress in her classes. I started noticing a grade decline in her Algebra class. By being able to track her homework and grades on assignments, we were able to get her the extra help she needed in the areas she was not succeeding. Thus, she finished the class with a B!In reviewing my resume, you will find that my skill set is a good match for this position. I have an extensive background in sales and marketing. I have proven ability to get to the decision maker and close the sale. I do this with persistence and creative ways of getting the sellers attention. I have built and maintained long lasting business relationships by exceeding client expectations. For the past 18 years, my career has been in the field of printing and direct mail marketing. I am seeking a new challenge and have the desire to learn a new industry. I am detail oriented and work well independently and as a part of a team. I take initiative and need little direction in completing my job responsibilities. I have successfully maintained a home office for 10 years.Thank you for your consideration.
