Dear human resources;

I would love to continue working for several more years. I tried retirement and did not like it.

At my previous employer, I managed all aspects of a New Life application, including incoming and outgoing calls to agents and sometimes to the customer, Term Conversions, Reinstatements and Policy changes..
