Hello,
I recently moved to Austin from Missoula, Montana, where I studied Creative Writing and
English Literature at the University of Montana. I have spent the last ten years in the
customer service industry, and feel that my experiences and abilities make me a valuable
addition to a successful team. I am searching for a position where I can utilize my personal
abilities and academic achievements to form a mutually beneficial relationship with an
employer. I love people and am willing to put myself out there to make a genuine
connection.
I have refined communication skills, bring a positive attitude to my work, and have
experience with diverse clientele and coworkers. I enjoy working in both solitary and team
environments, am able to multitask and prioritize duties, keep myself busy when it is slow,
and am not easily stressed under pressure.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Kara Moroney
