COMMUNICATION
The current position I hold demands professional and discreet communication skills at all times, via phone, email, and text, with clients or the IRS on behalf of a client. Bank of America and Citibank both required data entry for new accounts, and collections required updating customer records, maintaining a high level of confidentiality, and patience with upset customers to work toward bringing past-due accounts current, which required critical thinking and very clear communication.
LEADERSHIP
Worked as a Key hourly manager for Logan’s Road House in Johnson City, TN, for 3 years while I had my landscape business. I ensured that everything from staffing to timing for bar drinks and food arriving at the table was within the timing of company guidelines, ensuring that the employees remained upbeat and positive during their shifts. I would visit and greet every table after the food arrived to ensure everything looked and tasted exactly as ordered. Logan’s has a policy that we are to never say “NO” to a guest, sometimes tis policy took creative as well as critical thinking at times.
