Objective
To continue my career in a business-oriented field and hope that employment within your organization will allow
me to do so. I am ready to prove that my Brock University education, while competing in a varsity sport has
prepared me to multi task, work as a team and follow through on goals. I believe my strong work ethic and
previous work experiences will be an asset to any working environment. I am looking forward to continuing my
career development and acquiring the necessary job skills to aid me in future career endeavors. To date, my time
in commercial sales, and my experiences in account services within the Commercial and Marketing industry have
provided me with a strong level of industry knowledge and standards. I believe my personable demeanor and self-
motivation are two of my strongest attributes as an employee.
