Elaine Behrens
I would like to show how my qualities can benefit your company!
Cedar Rapids, IA 52404
*************@***.***
1. I am a person who strives to make whatever is set before me to do, to complete to perfection. I am organized and very detail-oriented. I also pay close attention to punctuation and spelling. Answering phones is an art. The person on the other end can sense the mood you are in. Answer it with a smile. It is important to share ideas, but also to be able to work on your own to prove your own character. The way you dress is also an important factor. I want to look my best to show that I have confidence in myself to master anything.
2. I excelled in English and grammar. I love to edit things when I am reading them. I am proficient in 10-key adding machine operation, cash handling, POS, answering phones, among other things. 3. I stepped away from the career world to help my teenage son finish high school. He was struggling to keep his head in the game and it was more important for me to help him get his diploma. After a few years of being a stay-at-home mom again, I am ready to pursue a career again. I am ready to put myself in the best possible place I feel can help me be a better person and I can make their company a better place where customer's are proud to do business and want to come back.
