I moved to Iowa to go to college. Sears hired me to be a Customer Service Representative.

1996 - APAC Teleservices, Inc
Ground Transportation Center
PO Box 41
Deerfield IL 60015-0041
While going to school, I worked at APAC. I started working there as telemarketer for At&t long
distance sales/inbound calling. After working full-time for approximately 3 months I was promoted to
Team Supervisor. I had supervision/management of teams between 10 to 20 telemarketers. Inspiring
my team to increase sales and performance turned out to be very rewarding. It was great when I
saw my team encouraging each other to stay motivated. Some of the things I would do board games,
they could win money, or other objects, sometimes when one of my telemarketers would get a sale, I
would put them in charge, sit at their phone until I made another sale for them.
I was responsible for monitoring calls and training for higher performance. It was a great job.
The team named themselves "Pamela's Posse". The company offered 'free pizza' for top team of the
month and my team was running neck and neck with another team regularly; it was great. I worked
at this job for 2 years.

This job was looking for a weight loss counselor. I had no experience in this field; all I needed
was good customer service skills. I learned to counsel people in maintaining their weight/weight loss
from an expected diet menu. After a few months I was promoted to a sales position and needed to sell
the program to new clients. This was a part-time job.

This job was very rewarding. I worked with two special needs boys under 5 years old. Both boys were
autistic. I was trained to teach both boys. I was in joint supervision of the youngest boys education.
This was a part-time job. I was contacted again by both sets of parents a few years later asking me to
come back and work for them and I did for about 9 months but not through the school.

This company hired me to collect payments that were past due. I started as part-time and thru a
job service. It wasn't long until my boss told me he was impressed with me and wanted to offer
me a position. I then learned how to make small loan personal/auto/mortgage. I loved the business.

This was a full-time position.

of becoming homeowners. I drew up the loans at about 8-10 per month. I went to closings with my clients.
