Doing this successfully requires in depth product knowledge, as well as superb communication skills. Behind the client-facing side, we handle all elements of planning, troubleshooting, and executing contracts with multiple suppliers simultaneously while seamlessly communicating between client and supplier to meet payment deadlines, executing last-minute changes, etc. With the nature of this industry (ie. speedy, often last-minute changes), staying current is imperative - as is experiencing as much of your product as possible. Being able to adapt to sudden changes, ascertain and comprehend the impact of those changes, and communicate proactive solutions to clients is thus an absolute requirement.I did all this and more with incredible effectiveness, moving quickly within the industry from entry-level sales to an internal pre-management training nomination from my direct supervisors.Applicable Systems: Sabre, Microsoft Office Suite, Umapped, OMNIS, TOT, etc. Show less

We are a cross between a personal assistant and a travel agent, handling the finer details of travel plans as well as daily celebrations and events.Doing this job requires the ability to ascertain your client's needs, research viable options, and consolidate the information into comprehensive itineraries. For the most part, these itineraries involved dining reservations at international Michelin Star restaurants; tickets to operas, concerts, conferences, musicals, etc.; and, compiling tour and unique experience options unique to each region our clients travel to. Once, of course, those experiences are arranged, they also need to be managed (eg. in the case of a follow up with a restaurant to confirm the reservation, or following up with a vendor to ensure a potential late delivery is averted), and executed. As such, adaptability and curiosity are key to this role, supported by effective communication skills, ingenuity, and platinum problem solving skills.I was effective in each of these areas, being promoted from Junior-level to handling our most prestigious clients at the Senior-level within eight months of my start date.Applicable Systems: RightNow, Microsoft Office Suite, Oracle, Sharepoint, etc. Show less

Ie.

Effectiveness at this position requires every interpersonal skill a person can imagine: effective communication of content that has been winnowed into comprehensible pieces as required by the cognitive abilities of your pupils; being able to read a person's level of comprehension from non-verbal cues, maintain the attention of your class to keep them on point, evaluate their progress and output while making adjustments to compensate for the effects of their being human beings with ups, downs, personal lives, and stressors. These skills were employed both with adolescent pupils and my fellow teachers while I trained and supported them in developing literacy initiatives relevant to their subject matter while also measuring their competence around it against government teaching standards.In terms of measurable effectiveness at this role, my first year I was trained as a Newly Qualified Teacher to aid my adapting from Ontario Education Standards to British Education Standards; my second year I was promoted to Director of Literacy in addition to my previous duties; my third year, OFSTED rated Dixon's Kings as both an academy as a whole, and each individual teacher - I was rated the highest level possible: Outstanding.

Please see Dixon's Kings description - less Director of Literacy aspect.**Notable difference was creating an entire curriculum ad hoc based on loose government-mandated English as a Second Language standards and expectations, setting the foundations for my school's ESL curriculum that endured years beyond my contact with the school.
